A new piece of public artwork is coming this month to entertain art lovers in Humber Bay Shores.

A beautiful piece by Michael Belmore and Herman Mejia will soon be installed near Humber Bay Shores plaza, between the recreational trail and the waterfront, according to the City.

The artwork will be 12 feet tall and made of Corten and stainless steel.

“An Indigenous-led project, the new public artwork will be an iconic waterfront landmark and gathering place,” according to a note from Councillor Amber Morley’s office.

The installation of the large artwork will occur in two phases: the concrete foundation will be poured this month and left to cure. The installation of the sculpture will take place over ten days this month.

Construction hoarding will block off approximately 85 square metres for the installation to occur safely and pedestrian access along the walkways will not be interrupted.

After installation, mediation and landscaping will occur at the end of the month.

The sculpture is similar to the outline of a flame, which sits in a grassy area with a cityscape in the background.

Residents said they welcome the artwork and cannot wait to see what it looks like with the city in the background.
