Art on the Trent
In late 2022, the City received grant funding for the purchase of eight outdoor art frame structures, establishing the City’s ‘Art on the Trent’ public art program. As part of the program, art frame structures have been installed in Riverfront Square, Centennial Park and Frankford Tourist Park. The art frames will be used by the City to continuously program public art in these outdoor public spaces on an on-going basis.
The 25 Years of Community exhibit opens to the public on World Art Day, Saturday, April 15 in RiverFront Square, Centennial Park and Frankford Tourist Park, and features 16 photos that mark some of the people, places, events, milestones and transformations that have shaped Quinte West over the years. The photos will be on display in the art frame locations until the end of August.
