Media Advisory | Public art unveiling at the Muskoka Lumber Community Centre

BRACEBRIDGE, ON (September 11, 2024) – Join Mayor Rick Maloney, members of Council and the community as the Town of Bracebridge unveils two new public art pieces at the Muskoka Lumber Community Centre.

All My Relations by artist Kyle Thornley of Metal Mind Forge is a sculpture that hangs from the ceiling in the lobby. Formed from mild steel, the suspended sculpture is a representation of Ontario’s Provincial tree, the eastern white pine. This piece was developed to evoke a sense of community, draw inspiration from the local landscape, and reflect the spirit of Muskoka.

I.D.E.A. Mural by artists Jim Bravo and Stephanie Schofield was commissioned by the District Municipality of Muskoka’s Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Anti-Racism (IDEA) Advisory Group (IAG) and donated to the Town of Bracebridge. The mural is located in the hallway of the Muskoka Lumber Community Centre between the front counter and Coulson Family Bracebridge Library and promotes inclusion, celebrates diversity, and combats hate.

Date:  Tuesday, September 17
Time:  2:00 p.m.
Location:  Muskoka Lumber Community Centre lobby, 56 Salmon Avenue, Bracebridge

Media and members of the community are welcome to attend.
