May 1, 2024 – Fenelon Falls, ON – The Downtown Sculpture Exhibition 2024 is coming to Fenelon Falls Friday, May 10, 2024.
The Fenelon Arts Committee (FAC) of Kawartha Works Community Co-op (KWCC), in partnership with the City of Kawartha Lakes, has created another opportunity for the installation of public art along Colborne Street in Fenelon Falls. The works will be on display from May to October 2024.
The official launch of the project will take place at Colborne Street Gallery, 36 Colborne Street, Fenelon Falls on Friday, May 10th beginning at 11 a.m. Artists will be in attendance and there will be a guided tour of the sculptures.
The Call for Submissions went out earlier this year and six artists were short listed for installation; Elise Muller, James Cameron Smith, Rosalinde Baumgartner, Carolanne MacLean, Lynne Sproule, and Argyrios Hatzinakos.
The FAC is grateful for the support and assistance we received from the teams at Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition, The Elora Sculpture Project, and the Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society. They were instrumental in helping put this project together. We would also like to thank our community for their ongoing support and encouragement in bringing public art to our village.

The Kawartha Works Community Co-op operates to improve the social infrastructure in Kawartha Lakes by enabling the creation, development, and management of not-for-profit initiatives with artistic, cultural, recreational, health, environmental, economic, and social improvement aims.
