A skateboard sign post and reimagined picnic tables are some of the new functional public art pieces that have recently been added to Windsor’s west side.
The West End Art Project unveiled four locally-made pieces on Friday — three at the Queen’s Dock at the foot of Mill Street, and one more at the historic Dominion House (3140 Sandwich St.).
The Queen’s Dock property belongs to the Port Authority of Windsor.
New colourful signs designed by the Vanguard Youth Arts Collective have been posted to celebrate the area, with the names of picturesque west-end neighbourhoods painted upon skateboards.
Nearby, Jessica Cook’s work All My Relations features multiple picnic tables merged into one giant, interconnected table that Queen’s Dock visitors are welcome to sit upon.
Meanwhile, Kristina Bradt’s piece Home Away From Home — a specially-painted picnic table — has been placed outside the Dominion House.
The West End Art Project is an initiative by the organization Life After Fifty, funded by the Gordie Howe International Bridge community benefits plan.
