The monuments and public art found in Canada’s Capital Region reflect the diverse experiences of Canada and Canadians. As you explore the region, you’ll see works primarily by Canadians from across the country, works commemorating our history and our achievements, and monuments honouring Canadian heroes of yesterday and today.
There is a great deal of public art in the Capital, including monuments (also called commemorations). Public art, be it a sculpture, bas-relief, mural or other, is art that is accessible to the public and located in a public space, usually outdoors.
Our publication Street smART is your key to discover some of the numerous treasures of Canada’s Capital Region, as well as prominent commemorations and public art. It will help you find out what Canadian and international artists have done, and see the mark they have made in the region.
