A new permanent public artwork entitled, “The Wilds of Kingston” by Canadian contemporary artist, Brandon Vickerd, has been installed at the corner of Princess and Division Streets as part of The Hub Project. Due to COVID-19, a small-scale unveiling was hosted earlier today with the artist in attendance along with Councilors Jim Neill (District 9, Williamsville) and Rob Hutchison (District 11, King’s Town). Other guests included representatives from local area businesses, the jury members who selected Vickerd’s proposal, and members of The Tragically Hip, whose band t-shirt is featured as part of the installation.
