This sculpture - Gathering - is a playful take on the vibrant social life that can be found everyday on The Eglinton Way. Hand-forged with three different colour metals, Mark Puigmarti’s piece depicts three herons having a day out on the town and enjoying each other's company. On each bird is a unique decorative accessory, a nod to the rich offerings of the area’s local businesses.
 

The ambition of the sculpture is to have visitors to the area feel the movement and joy of these remarkable and engaging characters. Through his use of colour and scale, Gathering offers a vision of the Neighbourhood’s diversity, and is an ode to the power of community.

This sculpture was funded by: 

Beginning in 2019, The Eglinton Way Business Improvement Association began to invest in Artwalk, a public art installation on our street. The goal over the next 5 years is to bring 25 of these art installations (sculptures, statures, murals) into the neighborhood. It will be a beautiful place to walk, learn, experience, shop and enjoy.
