Three local artists selected for County’s Art in the Park project

Jul 8, 2020 | 5:24 PM

The County of Grande Prairie has selected three local artists to be featured at the Clairmont Adventure Park.

The County’s Art for the Park project panel of judges have selected three submissions which will be installed at Site 1, which is along the wooden residential fences of the park’s east boundary. The winners are Daelyn Biendarra and her piece Dream View, Cassidy Guenther for her work Skateboarder.png, and Quinn Goldberg and her submission Fox Mountain.

Goldberg was also the winner of the Site 2 submission, which required concepts or ideas for an art installation along the fences of the Clairmont Adventure Park. Her idea of a Honeybee Conservation Education Project was selected, and she will work along with County Staff and young artists to place cutouts of bees and other important pollinators along the chain-link fence. Residents will also have an opportunity to contribute to the project, by painting individual components of the piece.

“We’re delighted that so many young artists participated in this project,” says Christine Rawlins, Parks and Recreation Manager in a release. “The Adventure Park is a community gathering place and these pieces of art will add an inviting touch, made more meaningful by local resident contributions.”

Artists who submitted their work for this project were also entered into a draw to win a $100 gift card. The draw winners were Christina Read, Douglas Rieger, Daelyn Biendarra, and Chaney Tidd.

The Clairmont Adventure Park, located at 9801 107 Avenue in Clairmont, is home to a skate park, spray park, outdoor exercise equipment and green space. In 2014, the County contributed $640,000 in funding to the Clairmont Agricultural Society, who developed and operated the park. The County took over operations of the park in early 2020.

Along with installing art from local artists, the County is enhancing the Clairmont Adventure Park this summer with repairs to the spray park, and, through a partnership with the Clairmont Gardeners community group, the creation of a raised-bed community garden.
