ION Light Rail Transit Public Art Project – Community Consultation

Waterloo Region – The Region of Waterloo’s next public art projects will offer an opportunity to develop unique and engaging spaces along the ION Light Rail Transit (LRT) route. The Region and selected artists will create seven new works of public art at the Conestoga, Research and Technology, Grand River Hospital, Kitchener Market, Mill, Block Line and Fairway ION stops.

The Region is asking for public input to make sure that each artwork considers the identity of its neighbourhood. We would like to hear your ideas on what makes great public art and your views on what is important and unique about each of the selected ION LRT public art locations.  

The public is invited to provide input in person and/or online.

Workshops:

Saturday, October 24, 2015 – 3 - 5 p.m.

Rockway Centre Auditorium, 1405 King St. E., Kitchener

Tuesday, October 27, 2015 – 7 - 9 p.m.

Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex, Hauser Haus,

101 Father David Bauer Dr., Waterloo

Please register at https://IONPublicArt.eventbrite.com or by calling 519-575-4400 ext. 3572. Input on all seven stops will be gathered at both workshops. Doors will open one hour prior to the workshops for those who wish to preview the display panels. Light refreshments and supervised activities for school-age children will be provided.
