Downtown Lightbox Exhibit
Monday, August 26 to Friday, November 8, 2024
To celebrate the City of Charlottetown hosting the 30th annual Communities in Bloom National Symposium and Awards Ceremonies in October, the City of Charlottetown launched a call to artists for a lightbox exhibit on the theme of “Your Community in Bloom.”
The resulting exhibit, Your Community in Bloom – features 20 original artworks by 20 Island-based artists.
The environment and landscape of Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island) has been shaped and re-shaped by human actions for millennia. The Island’s history, size, and geography has created a distinct connection between land and water, urban and rural, as well as people and their environment. From the stewardship of Epekwitk Mi’kmaq since time immemorial to being a leader in environmental technologies and renewable energy, this place is a living example that a thriving environment means thriving communities.
Each artwork in the exhibit offers a unique interpretation of the Island’s complex and varied communities of humans, plants, and animals.
