À propos

Celebrate arts, culture and heritage with the City of Oshawa on Saturday, October 14.

Join photographer Shay Conroy for an artist talk at Ed Broadbent Waterfront Park, 169 Harbour Rd., to learn more about her new outdoor exhibition "Port of Prosper".

“Port of Prosper” explores the industrial side of Oshawa’s waterfront. Focusing in on the active port and former harbour grounds, this photo-based work highlights a part of Oshawa that is historic and current, yet seemingly overlooked.

Oshawa is a city of industrial transportation that remains humble. Our port supplies salt and steel products, along with sugar, asphalt and grain by importing and exporting shipments from international waters and serving the greater Toronto area. As a historically blue-collar town, this sector of the city is another industrial piece of our identity.

This project aims to bring the inside of our industrial port into a public space through images created with a documentary and fine art approach. This work further highlights the former harbour grounds consumed by the environment alongside the committed port workers. With a mix of industrial landscapes, portraits and nods to nature, these images explore our port from an intimate perspective, driven by curiosity and created in admiration of the ongoing resiliency.
