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.

Current Exhibit
MotionSt. Catharine’s Annual 2018 Juried Exhibition, “Motion” called upon artists to consider what movement in the everyday life of our community looks like. In an increasingly digitally connected age, which allows one to travel anywhere in the world instantaneously, the physical act of transportation is often taken for granted. Motion can be autonomous and self-directed, taking place on streets and trails, using feet or bicycles to transition from point A to B. It can also be directed by pre-designed and designated transportation vehicles and routes, creating a diverse range of interactions and experiences between individuals and their environment. “Motion” gives audiences an opportunity to consider what the process of movement means to them in their community. How does it feel? What does it sound like? Throughout this exhibit you will discover what motion in our City means to fifteen (15) local artists. These chosen artists have expressed their thoughts through a variety of artistic mediums, such as, textile, photography and paint.

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 |
