BURLINGTON, ON
If you are out and about on the streets of the downtown core or walking along the Naval Promenade, you will see cement blocks with artwork inside the plastic containers.
They are part of the Dan Lawrie International Sculpture.
Not sure how many there are – many is the best number I can give you.
The Dan Lawrie International Sculpture Collection has been supporting the commission and exhibition of sculptural works for over 10 years.
Borne out of Dan Lawrie’s love of sculpture, DLISC has sponsored public art commissions through the City of Burlington Public Art Program, the Art Gallery of Burlington, Joseph Brant Museum and has led the creation of the sculpture collection at Royal Botanical Gardens over the past decade.
The Burlington Waterfront Sculpture Trail is preparing for its fifth season. The goal of BWST is to bring sculpture into the public realm in a free and accessible trail linking major elements of Burlington’s stunning downtown core and waterfront. Artists from across the country are paid an exhibition fee to present their work, and the DLISC team works to sell the works to drive additional support to Canadian artists.
The art work will be on display until the end of May. I think they should remain in place until mid-September.
