Exhibits
Exhibits in public spaces provide the community an opportunity to experience original art, historic photos, or cultural treasures that reflect St. Catharines' stories, creative self-expression, experiences, and perspectives.
Each year, exhibits are displayed on a rotating basis on the 3rd floor of City Hall, in the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre and Centennial Gardens. These exhibits are co-ordinated by the City's Cultural Services office with support from the Public Art Advisory Committee.

SeasonsThis responsive series is in partnership with three local secondary schools: Saint Francis Catholic, Sir Winston Churchill and, Laura Secord. The works on display respond to three piece from the City’s Civic Art Collection - “Ghost Trees” by Sandy Middleton, “Vapor” by Diego Chaves and, “Truck on Skyway” by Gillian Dickson. The works on display focus on how a season can evoke feelings and memories and how those feeling or memories can then be transcended into art.
Abstract City Hall, currently on display at City Hall on the second floor, was created during a Willow Arts Community Workshop which was delivered by instructor Mark Roe -- Artist and member of Willow Arts Community. Willow Arts Community is a not-for-profit arts organization that supports the creative goals of aspiring, emerging, and established artists with lived experience of mental health/addictions. |

Centennial Gardens |

When Centennial Gardens was unveiled in 1967 it included commemorative plaques representing the 12 provinces and territories of the time. These plaques were installed on a concrete wall that surrounds the Doug Cranmer Totem Pole. The original plaques disappeared years ago but distinct blank rectangles remain. These spaces now provide an opportunity for public art exhibits. Current Exhibit |
