About
Welcome to Canada's largest outdoor contemporary art exhibit at Confederation Park.
This park sits on what was once an industrial site that occupied both sides of the Gananoque River. When the Jones Shovel Company ceased operation in the 1960's, the Rotary Club and the Chamber of Commerce developed a park which was dedicated on July 1, 1967. Over time, the Rotary Club added walks, lighting, ponds and a beautiful fountain in the centre of the river. During the 1990's members of the Rotary Club approached the Art Bank in Ottawa, and in due course, a number of sculptures were leased from the Art Bank.
Stroll this self guided tour with plaques of Artist & title. Continue your walk over the dam to Pangea House B&B on Saturday hosting Angela Rea Mahoney/Meltdown studio & Ania Bogacka/mixed media, textured, abstract paintings created with up-cycled materials.
