The Dan Lawrie International Sculpture Collection

The Burlington Waterfront Sculpture Trail is a project of the Dan Lawrie International Sculpture Collection. For the past 10 years the collection has been focused on building a remarkable series of works in Hendrie Gardens at Royal Botanical Gardens, through the generous commitment of Dan Lawrie.

Moving forward, the Dan Lawrie International Sculpture Collection will focus its efforts on the BWST project in an effort to bring the beauty of sculpture to Burlington’s stunning waterfront and downtown core. In this, our inaugural year, the BWST brings you 15 works from across Ontario in a range of sculptural practices. From ceramic to steel, conceptual to figurative - the BWST team is thrilled with the works on offer and welcomes everyone to participate in this barrier-free experience.
