Just Launched – Eyes On Art Public Art Pass

Eyes On Art โ€“ A Visual Journey is a self-guided journey through our destinationโ€™s public art installations; whether by car, bike or foot, we provide suggested routes showcasing the various artists and their expressions in Windsor Essex while connecting to offerings, excursions and experiences.

To appreciate contextually our unique sense of place, this digital pass will provide the opportunity to explore various public art which have played an integral role in shaping who we are as a community.

The focus will be on murals and sculptures throughout Windsor Essex which tie in with themes, districts, โ€œhubs or artistic worksโ€, and showcase local artists.ย  The extensive number of pieces dotted throughout Windsor Essex provide a smorgasbord of creativity, diversity and inclusivity.ย  With that variety, the digital pass appeals to a broad audience including cultural explorers, art lovers, families and couples.

Art is a catalyst for change by making, highly expressionistic statements, which convey specific messages or themes, while providing a thought-provoking backdrop for the audience. To further enrich the destinationโ€™s tapestry, historical and cultural pieces are also interspersed along the way, providing context and connectivity.

To enjoy this painstaking visual journey of public art, we recommend planning an itinerary or two and adding to it our Coffee Cultureย featuring renowned artisanal coffeehouses, and Tasty Treatsย showcasing sweet treat options.

Check in at your stops along the way using your Eyes On Art pass! Get 10 check-ins by Saturday November 30th, 2024 and be entered to WIN a Coffee Culture Prize Pack valued at $100!
