The City of Welland is launching a digital and interactive map that showcases the vibrant and diverse public art collection found throughout the city.

Developed with the dedicated efforts of the City’s Arts and Culture Advisory Committee, the Welland Art Scene map is available on the City of Welland’s official website. This innovative tool provides residents and visitors with an immersive experience, offering detailed information about each public artwork, including photographs, descriptions, and exact locations.

From sculptures to murals, Welland’s public art reflects the city’s unique cultural identity and creative spirit. Designed to encourage exploration, the art map allows users to virtually tour the city’s public art installations while inspiring in-person visits to these cultural landmarks.

“The Welland Art Scene map represents our commitment to making arts and culture accessible to everyone,” said Amanda Degazio, manager of business and community services. “By highlighting the incredible creativity that shapes our city, we’re fostering a deeper connection between residents, visitors, and the public spaces that make Welland special.”

The City extends its gratitude to the Arts and Culture Task Force, a sub-committee of the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee, for leading the public art inventory initiative. The dedication and hard work of this group was instrumental in bringing this important project to life

The interactive map is part of the City’s efforts to celebrate arts and culture as a cornerstone of Welland’s identity. It invites people of all ages to engage with their surroundings and discover the stories behind the creative expressions that enrich the community.
