New Acquisition for the City of St. Catharines Civic Art Collection
The City of St. Catharines owns approximately 500 works of art and cultural property. Th
e collection includes such items as: paintings, photographs, war memorials, plaques, monuments and much more! In order to continuously grow and improve the collection, t
he Public Art Advisory Committee, at its discretion, may acquire a piece of art from the Annual Juried exhibit. Recently, "This Way" by Jon Shaw was selected.
Jon Shaw is a visual artist who was born and raised in St. Catharines, subsequently leaving to pursue his education and then relocating to Vancouver. He returned to St. Catharines in September 2018 and has since presented solo exhibitions at Mahtay Café and the Niagara Artists Centre. He has also facilitated community art engagements as part of the In the Soil and Culture Days Festivals. His current body of work documents the devolution of the former General Hospital on Queenston Street. The piece "This Way" was among the first of this series and is currently part of the juried exhibition "Transformations", presented at City Hall.
"This Way" memorializes the state of the hospital on March 17, 2019. The next day, that particular manifestation of internal and external components had disappeared forever. This piece, along with the rest of the series, continue to encapsulate the overall transformation of the historical icon.
