πΏ Help Shape Public Art in Pickering! π¨
In March 2026, the City of Pickering launched a Call to Artists to design a permanent public artwork for the west garden at the Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre.
This vibrant outdoor space, seen daily by residents and visitors, is being reimagined with creative concepts that aim to:
β¨ Create shaded gathering spaces
β¨ Transform the garden into a welcoming and meaningful place
β¨ Encourage interaction, exploration, and community connection
β¨ Incorporate sensory elements like light, sound, texture, or movement
β¨ Go beyond traditional sculpture with immersive and site-responsive designs
Now we need your voice to help select the vision that will bring this space to life!
