At the upcoming meeting of June 16, 2021, staff from Exhibition Place and the Bentway will provide a power point presentation for the benefit of the Board Members. The presentation will provide details on how the exhibit will welcome the public into the cubicles, for the first time, for an unforgettable civic experience. This unique signature project will highlight the potential use of this space, the connective possibilities between the Bentway and Exhibition Place, and the power of public art to inspire.
