New public art is coming to Thickson Road, between Dundas Street and Nichol Avenue. Three art design proposals have been shortlisted by a jury for community input - and we want to know what you think! 

This new public art is an integral part of a broader, Council-approved placemaking initiative to beautify the area and strengthen the identity of this key gateway into Whitby. A variety of commercial establishments, including the Whitby Mall, restaurants, fast-food outlets, grocery stores, retail shops, and service-oriented businesses call this stretch of Thickson Road home, and approximately 22,000 vehicles pass daily. 

Have Your Say

Between now and January 31, watch videos submitted by the three shortlisted artists explaining their art design and complete a short survey to let us know what you think.

Next Steps

Survey results will be shared with the three artists for final design revisions and provided to the jury panel to assist in making the final selection. The winning design will be awarded by the end of March with the new public art expected to be installed later in the year.
