Would you like to see more Public Art in the City of Kingston? Over the coming months, the City of Kingston will be exploring opportunities for professional artists to create public art alongside the new Bay Trail, and we would love to have the voices of local schools and students involved! 

Options for these artworks could include anything from sculptural works, artworks integrated into the existing path and surrounds, as well as augmented reality apps for smartphones that could lead community members on a self-guided tour along sections of the shared pedestrian/cycling path.

So far, Council has explored initial ideas for the artworks and sought the artistic input from two artists, Deb McNaughton and Glenn Romanis, who have provided preliminary ideas for potential artworks along the trail. These ideas can be viewed in detail here. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore new content and cultural stories previously untold.

We want to hear from you!

Help shape the Bay Trail Public Art Project and let us know what type of artwork you would like to see! 

You can share your views by:
