The City of St. John’s and the Craft Council of NL partnered to carry out a laneway public art animation project in Solomon’s Lane in downtown St. John’s (which runs between Water St. and Duckworth St., and contains entrances to both the Craft Council Shop and Gallery, and the Ship Pub). It is a well-travelled laneway and was a prime candidate for a public art project. The main priorities of the project were to increase lighting in the area, generally enliven and introduce public art to the area, and contribute to a safe and welcoming environment. Through this partnership, the City has leveraged annual public art programming, engaged community organizations, and developed a project that will help in creating interest, activity, and vibrancy in downtown. The Arts & Cultural Development Coordinator noted that the artwork was designed by Jessica Waterman. Once the additional lighting and projection elements are put in place, the project will be complete and there will be a launch unveiling event.
