Public Art Collection

Explore Sechelt's Public Art Collection

The first work of art to enter the District of Sechelt's collection was the painting Sechelt Waterfront, 1902 by Henry J. DeForest. When the Village of Sechelt opened its first municipal hall in 1956, Geoffrey Whitaker presented the DeForest painting as a gift to the newly incorporated village. In 2005, the District of Sechelt began commissioning works of art by local artists for inclusion into the collection. 

PUBLIC ART NOTICE: Temporary Removal of 'Summer Time' 

Due to a landscape re-design at Municipal Hall, the 'Summer Time' sundial sculpture by artist George Pratt has been temporarily removed. We are working with the artist to clean, restore and re-locate the piece later this year (2025).

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this process. Please check back here for updates as they become available. Thank you for your continued support of our public art initiatives.
