Headwaters Artist of the Year, Ken Hall Saturday unveiled a life-sized steel sculpture of a horse at the opening of Equiart2015.
The Dancing Horse celebrates the joyful, magical energy of the horse in motion.
Equiart is a celebration of Equine Art being run by the Dufferin Arts Council and coinciding with the equestrian competitions of the Pan Am Games, which are being held at the nearby OLG Caledon Pan Am Equestrian Park in Palgrave. A pop-up gallery will house some of the best horse-themed artwork in the region until July 25, at 17090 Highway 50, while other artwork will be displayed on the walls of several local restaurants, including Mrs. Mitchell’s, Forage, Rustik Bistro, Bluebird Cafe, The Globe, MonoCliffs Inn and Black Birch.
Hall is an award-winning public installation artist. His installation Legacy, an anatomically-correct killer whale skeleton carved from reclaimed cedar siding and decking, is currently touring Ontario and has reached more than 1,000,000 visitors since its launch in June 2013.
Equiart2015 runs in Palgrave until July 25. Artist Ken Hall unveiled his Dancing horse, made of welded steel and weighing about 1,000 pounds.
