February 1, 2024 – Fenelon Falls, ON – An exciting new public art exhibition is coming to Fenelon Falls this summer and the call for submissions is officially open.
The Fenelon Arts Committee (FAC), in partnership with the City of Kawartha Lakes, invites expressions of interest from artists or teams of artists to participate in the inaugural call for sculptures in the newly built garden planters located along Colborne Street in downtown Fenelon Falls.
Juried by a panel of local arts and cultural leaders and downtown business owners, the exhibition will feature six sculptures on limestone base rocks in the garden planters. 2024 marks the 150th anniversary of Fenelon Falls and submissions are asked to incorporate elements and interpretations reflecting the sesquicentennial. The exhibition will be on view from May to October 2024 and will feature an opening celebration and walking tour.
The FAC identifies opportunities for artists, strategizes on arts initiatives, and works to increase public access and engagement with art in the village of Fenelon Falls. The FAC is a part of the Kawartha Works Community Co-op (KWCC). The KWCC works to improve the social infrastructure in Kawartha Lakes by enabling the creation, development, and management of not-for-profit initiatives with artistic, cultural, recreational, health, environmental, economic, and social improvement aims.
