Sherbourne Common Park in Toronto is set to receive a new permanent, interactive art installation, adding to its appeal as a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. The park, known for its beautiful lakeside view and unique stormwater treatment facility, has become a staple spot in the growing community.
With its fresh-cut grass, picnic tables, and peaceful lakeside view , Sherbourne Common is one of Toronto ’s best parks. Once a hidden gem, the waterfront park at Sherbourne and Lake Shore has become a staple spot for local residents and even those from across town as of late, as the surrounding community grows with each new condo and commercial space.itself was once an industrial area that has been impressively transformed and spans two city blocks.
Following an international call for proposals, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer has been selected to install a new permanent artwork called Unfinished Arch – the first Canadian installation by the acclaimed Mexican-Canadian artist. “I am excited for my first permanent public art commission in Canada to be on Toronto’s waterfront,” said Lozano-Hemmer. “Unfinished Arch alludes to the familiar paraboloid shape found in many mid-century modern arches, and its perplexing, truncated nature gives way to a civic engagement: visitors may wish to ‘complete’ the arch by stretching their arms to ground it.
“We’re excited to bring Unfinished Arch to the waterfront as the centerpiece of Waterfront Toronto’s public art master plan for East Bayfront,” said George Zegarac, President and CEO, Waterfront Toronto. “This new permanent art installation will anchor Toronto’s waterfront as a leading arts and culture destination, creating economic benefits through increased tourism and creating a vibrant community.
