Nanaimo’s artistic spirit reflected in new downtown outdoor art
NANAIMO — The walk along Nanaimo’s waterfront around Maffeo Sutton Park will become much more eye catching in coming months.
Eleven new pieces of temporary outdoor artwork for $29,000 were approved unanimously by Nanaimo City Council.
Bruce Anderson, the City’s manager of community and cultural planning told NanaimoNewsNOW the art is a perfect reflection of Nanaimo’s artistic spirit.
“At the community level, we’ve got an awful lot of artists in production and making some very interesting works. It’s wonderful that we’re able to share that with residents and visitors in parks and along our walkways.”
