The Town of Collingwood is excited to announce updates to the Sunset Point Park Stage as part of the Town's Public Art Program.
Earlier this year, a Call to Artists was released requesting an artist or artist team to submit a proposal for a new mural backdrop for Sunset Point Park Stage to visually enhance this park space for performances, community events and everyday park use.
After a lengthy review process, the community-based volunteer selection committee chose Ainsley Brinn-Saunders as the successful artist for this project and her artwork entitled Town Pride.
Installed in October, Ainsley’s artwork was specifically drawn and designed for the Sunset Point Park stage space. Purposefully amalgamating several of Collingwood’s iconic landmarks under a bright pink skyscape, this beautiful mural will act as a vibrant and colourful focal point for this area of the park.
