Staff and visitors can expect a colourful and inspiring welcome as they enter Durham Region’s Headquarters, as a new public art installation has been installed.
Durham College Fine Arts students created the art as part of a community collaboration program. The artwork has been installed along the stone wall at the north entrance of 605 Rossland Road East in Whitby. The pieces represent the themes of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility, said a region statement.
This installation is part of a regional public art pilot project. It will help inform a program to provide ongoing opportunities for public art. Durham Region supports public art as a way to connect people and places, create beautiful spaces, and support the local creative community.
Durham Region’s Headquarters is the corporate building for The Regional Municipality of Durham, Durham Regional Police Service and Durham Region Transit. The building also houses Provincial Offences Act courts and an Ontario Works office.
