Town hosted Public Art Open House

On April 26, 2023 the Town welcomed the community to learn about Public Art in Newmarket and share what they find inspiring, meaningful and exciting.

Attendees learned about sculptures and installations that exist in Town and projects underway, including the Mulock Park Public Art program.

Participants also viewed artist presentation boards and met with Town staff and members of the Mulock Park project team and share thoughts on the projects presented.

About public art at Mulock Park:
Public art at Mulock Park celebrates the landscape through a lens of innovation to highlight stories across past, present and future that expand our understanding of nature and our relationship to the land. The project team is currently managing seven new artworks to be integrated into Mulock Park, with more coming over the next few years.

Beacon at Yonge & Mulock

Part of the public art plan for Mulock includes the presence of a “Beacon” piece that will be located at the corner of Yonge and Mulock and will serve as a focal point drawing people into the park. For two days, on Thursday and Friday (April 27 and 28), conceptual drawings of the final five submissions were on display in the foyer of the Municipal Offices (395 Mulock Drive). In addition to the feedback gathered at the Public Art Open House, residents were invited to stop by and view the concepts and share their feedback which was shared with the Jury.
