This project aims to enhance the character and vibrancy of the neighborhood in which it will be sited through public art, while also contributing to Hamilton's growing arts and culture sector. The City of Hamilton invites you to provide input on short-listed proposals for a permanent public artwork to be sited south of Cannon Street East between Crosthwaite and Garside Avenue North, in the grass area just south of the Pipeline Trail multi-use path in Ward 4.

The Pipeline Trail runs from the Museum of Steam and Technology through the neighbourhoods of Parkview West, Normanhurst, Homeside, and Crown Point East and provides neighbourhood connections to schools, parks, playgrounds, and commercial areas. Artists were asked to propose artwork(s) that respond to the themes of water innovation and infrastructure, as a nod to Hamilton's industrial heritage and identified in the Pipeline Master Plan(as identified in the Pipeline Trail Master Plan), and that are functional in nature, serving one or all of the following purposes: seating, shade, wayfinding.

Ninety-one (91) local and national stage 1 submissions were received for the project. Four (4) highest scoring Artists or Artist-Led Teams were shortlisted by a citizen jury and invited to submit a stage 2 submission.
