Celebration of Public Sculpture at Trent University

The community is invited to attend a free public event at Trent University that celebrates the stunning collection of sculptures on the Symons campus, some of which are designated by Heritage Canada as of national significance. The Public Sculpture Initiative celebration will include presentations from artists David James (Portal) and André Fournelle (La Porte d’Or), as well as Dr. Jessica Becking, principal of Otonabee College. Following the presentations, participants will be invited to join a walking tour to see 11 sculptures including the nationally significant pieces: This Column Ends by artist Shayne Dark, a bronze bust of former Trent chancellor and author Margaret Laurence by artist Almuth Lütkenhaus, and two stunning pieces entitled Portal by David James ’68.
