À propos

The covered walkway between Baker Street Parking Lot and St. George’s Square has received a makeover – five members of the Necessary Arts Collective have painted 12 pillars along the footpath in collaboration with the City of Guelph, Downtown Guelph Business Association and TimBri Property Management.

Artists participating in The Walkway Project include:

• Chanel DesRoches

• Robert John Paterson

• Amber Ozols

• Laura Vautour

• Shanti Hietkamp

The City is supporting The Walkway Project through funding awarded by FedDev Ontario through the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF).

Meet the artists on September 27 from 1-3 p.m.

The artists will be onsite, Sunday, September 27 from 1-3 p.m. to meet the public as a kick off to Culture Days. Artists will talk about their process, inspiration and experience and offer tours of the Necessary Arts Collective studio, whose home is along the walkway. Please wear a mask and stay 2 metres (6.5 feet) away from people you don’t live with.
