ArtsAlive expands Oak Bay public art opportunities Oak Bay to be year-round gallery as sculpture walk grows Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News
Oak Bay arts laureate Barbara Adams’ permanent art walk plan sets the legacy of Oak Bay as a community art gallery. A total 10 permanent works are to dot the landscape by spring through ArtsAlive, Oak Bay’s new public art initiative. For two summers, Oak Bay enjoyed an artwork-onloan program and it recently purchased artist Chris Paul’s Salish Sea, adjacent to Oak Bay Marina. That purchase, and a recent donation by Oak Bay Marine Group, grounded the first part of Adams’ grand scheme to create public art spaces around the community. A year-round showcase and ongoing municipal art purchases are a next logical step. “If you look at the response to the Salish Sea, it’s become iconic,” Adams said. “It’s really going to put the community on the map. I’m really looking to make sure this first year works.” Twenty-eight selected sculpture sites are scattered throughout the community, with 10 in high-traffic areas. Those 10 would feature sponsored artwork on a yearly basis with purchased work moving to one of the other sites, spreading art through the neighbourhoods. “Now I’m trying to make this happen and to make it happen we’ve got to all step up to the plate,” said Adams, in her third year as arts laureate.
