The No. 3 Road Art Columns Program was launched in 2010 in partnership with the Appia Group of Companies, in collaboration with InTransit BC. The inaugural exhibition was presented in partnership with the Necklace Project, an inter-municipal collaboration for public art, involving 10 local cities and newly commissioned artwork on the theme of “illuminating communities.”
Since then, the program has featured the work of dozens of local artists with rotating exhibitions that change twice a year.
The Art Columns program is funded from the Public Art Program Reserve supported by contributions from the Private Development Public Art Program.
