THE SCULPTURE PROJECT
FENELON FALLS

The Fenelon Arts Committee (FAC) is thrilled to announce the final installation of The Sculpture Project.

The FAC has added two public artworks in the Rain Garden; Portage by James C. Smith and River Grove by Susan Rankin. The project began in 2019 with a Call for Submissions followed by a jury of local arts and cultural leaders who selected the two sculptures. The fundraising campaign began in 2020 and raised over $50,000 for the two works to be fabricated and installed in their new permanent home. This is the first public artwork to be installed under the City’s new Arts Policy.

The FAC is grateful for the support and assistance we have received from the Kawartha Works Community Co-operative, Community Foundation of Kawartha Lakes, Community Fund Fenelon Falls, Rotary Club of Fenelon Falls, Fenelon Falls Powerlinks Committee, Fenelon Falls Community Chest Fund, City of Kawartha Lakes Ontario Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries, and the many individual and private donors.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our Artists for their patience, imagination, and talent. We would also like to thank our community for their ongoing support and encouragement. We look forward to an official celebration in the coming months.
