当居民与游客通过密西沙加市中心最繁忙的交叉口Hurontario和Burnhamthrope时，他们将看到颜色的堆集。目前，密西沙加市政府正在举办一次公开艺术比赛，一件超过5万颜色多样的Paracord组成的现代艺术品安置在Hurontario沿街的52棵橡树上。每件艺术品将有11组不同颜色的组合，代表密西沙加11个选区。该项目是用来表征城市的多元文化和社区多样化，并为寒冷的冬天注入活力。更多详情如下。
Public Art in Mississauga: The Lifeline Project
As residents and visitors travel down the busy intersection of Hurontario St. and Burnhamthorpe Rd. they will see a splash of colour in the downtown core.
As a result of a public art competition held by the City, a temporary art installation composed of 50,000 feet of colourful paracord will join the 52 oak trees located along the Hurontario Street median. The art piece will group the burlap covered trees into 11 clusters, representing each of the city’s wards. The Lifeline Project is a tribute to Mississauga’s diversity, resilience and community and will inject vigour and generate excitement during the winter months.
City commissioned artists; Michael Simon, Marisa Gallemit and Taline Jirian, designed an art piece that “creates a reminder of vital energy while nature is deceptively in stasis.”
The public art installation brings awareness to the natural environment and emphasizes the importance of annually wrapping the trees with burlap in order to shield them from winter damage and cold temperatures.
