À propos

Enjoy the beautiful artwork on Kerr Street. 'Sunday Sweet' is an abstract representation of a warm sunset reflecting on rippling water and bright flowers in a garden. Inspired by the colourful roses of the Gairloch Gardens and the calming waves of Lake Ontario, this piece seeks to embody the soothing effect of nature. "As an artist, I am captivated by the tiny details in nature, such as the texture of moss on rocks or the way sunlight filters through tree leaves. Walking and spending time along the shore of Lake Ontario has provided much inspiration for my artwork over the years, particularly the spectacular sunrises and sunsets that light up the horizon". Walk along Kerr Street and discover this vibrant piece, celebrating the beauty and tranquility of our natural surroundings.

The “We Are Kerr” project received support through the My Main Street Community Activator program.

My Main Street is funded by a Government of Canada investment through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) to foster the stabilization and revitalization of main streets across southern Ontario.

The My Main Street Community Activator will provide support across southern Ontario for local community placemaking projects, including festivals and events, community enhancements, and streetscape improvements designed to draw visitors and increase local vibrancy.

Placemaking is an approach that asks people to collectively reimagine and reshape public space to maximize its shared value. Placemaking can take the form of events that draw people into a community, murals that brighten neglected streetscapes and celebrate local artists, seating and temporary patios that allow people to gather safely outdoors, new uses for neglected or empty spaces, and more.
