ArtRide Blue Rapid Transit Line – Thursday, August 29, 2024
please register using this link.
This tour will start at Seel Station Park & Ride, and meet at Furrows in the Land (the Wheel). This is the piece of Tyndall Stone on the northbound bus side.
The public artworks created for the BLUE Rapid Transit Line tell stories and evoke ideas around ecology and natural history, historic north-south trails, civic planning, and Indigenous land experiences and histories. Following the river, the people, and their interactions in this area over time, the artists weave and connect the meanings of routes in the Red River region and the neighbourhoods of Fort Garry.
