If you’re looking for something to do this summer, how about discovering Yorkton’s public art?
That experience is now more easily accessible thanks to a new brochure, explained Lisa Washington, Community Development Manager Community Development, Parks & Recreation with the City.
“It’s an update of an old map that was made years, and years ago,” she said, adding the long out-of-print map dated back to before the development of the City’s Cultural Plan in 2009.
The update was undertaken by local artist Angelina Kardynal, and provides people with a guide to get out an see the public art which exists in the city, said Washington from the sculpture at the Painted Hand Casino to the mural at the Access Communications Water Park to the art at the Godfrey Dean Gallery, a total of 26 spots are documented.
“We want people to find these places and to learn about the pieces of art themselves, to celebrate what we have in the city,” said Washington.
The brochure will be available online at www.yorkton.ca, or you can email cdpr@yorkton.ca for curbside pick-up of a copy.
