The Art of Scott Gillies
Oak Bay's People's Choice Vote
Vote for my sculpture in the Oak Bay Arts Alive sculpture walk contest!
Last fall, I asked my daughter if she had any ideas what I should make for Oak Bay's Arts Alive sculpture walk. She said " Maybe a fox? It's my favourite animal!". The theme this year was "Home", so I decided to make a family of foxes in a den. So it was a pleasure to have Maisie stand up with my at the launch of the Arts Alive sculpture walk! The event was wonderful and even included opera serenading of each sculpture! A beautiful and surreal moment on a gorgeous Oak Bay evening.
Each year, the Municipality of Oak Bay considers purchasing public art from the Arts Alive program to become part of its permanent public art collection. Between July and November 2023, the public is invited to vote for their favourite artwork. The 3 sculptures that received the most votes will be evaluated by the Arts Alive Jury to determine which artwork will earn the title of ‘People’s Choice,’. This sculpture will be among the sculptures considered for purchase.
The theme for Arts Alive 2023 is “What is Home.”
