As the COVID-19
pandemic continues to keep many people at home, the City of Vaughan has
launched an online corporate art gallery for the community to explore virtually.
Featuring works of art from local-, regional- and GTA-based artists, the Art
Integration Collection can be viewed on Flickr.
Curated over the past 13
years, the City has been building an inventory of original two-dimensional artwork
destined to animate key public areas of Vaughan City Hall and other civic
venues. The collection is meant to profile artistic excellence, inspire
emerging and established talent to develop creative potential, embrace equality
and diversity, and foster art appreciation through meaningful experiences.
Comprised of 78 works
of art housed as permanent acquisitions, the collection features an eclectic
range of subject matter, art media, technique and style that includes painting,
photography, mixed-media and digital imagery. Some of the works are currently
on display at Vaughan City Hall, with others slated for installation at Vaughan
Public Libraries, and other locations throughout the city.
A personal Flickr account
is not required to access the City’s online gallery. More information is also available
at vaughan.ca/art.
In response to recent COVID-19
precautionary measures, such as the closure of Vaughan City Hall to the public
until further notice, the City is continuing to promote and enhance online
experiences for citizens to participate in while physical distancing from home.
