Calgary,for example,achieved this through its long-term WATERSHED+ program, <br /> which saw four artists working within the Utilities and Environmental Protection <br /> department to create original art works that spoke to issues of water conservation <br /> and management, developed through community dialogue and engagement. <br /> Closer to home,the City of Toronto's Solid Waste Management Services Division <br /> has previously piloted an artist-in-residence program with great success,generating <br /> public conversation and awareness about waste management. <br /> 2.8 Pursue new opportunities for destination public art <br /> A destination art work is a major commission that functions as a landmark and <br /> gathering space. In addition to being a focal point for a community, it can serve <br /> as a tourist attraction and result in spin-off economic benefits for its host city. In <br /> Canada and around the world, prominent destination artworks have put cities on <br /> the map as international public art destinations, including Anish Kapoor's Cloud <br /> Gate in Chicago,the iconic murals of San Francisco's Mission District, and <br /> Louise Bourgeois' Maman sculpture marking the entry to the National Gallery of <br /> Canada in Ottawa. Closer to home, new destination artwork is contemplated for <br /> Toronto as part of the East Bayfront Public Art Master Plan, and as a potential <br /> legacy project for the Year of Public Art. Supporting this and other new destina- <br /> tion art projects will showcase Toronto as a public art city, and create more <br /> opportunities to engage residents and visitors in creative and cultural discovery <br /> through public art. <br /> "1 01111'N ii I <br /> HIM <br /> J0 <br /> 4'411'111�" <br /> ............. <br /> RM <br /> MANOR <br /> W. <br /> 4 <br /> JIF <br /> N61 <br /> /W <br /> Yoga <br /> Bellefleur,StART Co/ncreteR,�rri,er,/Pro/g,,ra,,m Phlotb:,HarFy­,///Ghoi/ <br /> w <br /> Al <br /> Toronto Public Art Strategy 2020/2030 39 <br />
