WELCOME TO THE ART TOUR!
If you miss one of the guided art tours, you can do the self-guided art tour with the aid of a mobile device. Follow the tour route in the map below from one art stop to the next. There are signs at each art stop, notifying you where along the route you are. Each sign also has a QR code - linking to the online catalogue with information on the art works at each art stop. Scan the QR code with your mobile device, and follow the link.
While you walk the route and admire the art, look out for the large pink word art installations that have been applied to the pavement near the art stops. These are a bit of playful, perspective shifting poetry intended to provide fun and colour along the way. See if you can make out what the cross word like compositions are meant to say. Take a picture of them with your mobile device from the pink footprints nearby, and see what happens!
Thanks for joining us, and we hope you’ll enjoy the tour!
