The Nanaimo Port Authority has donated 5 thousand dollars to create a permanent home at Vancouver Island University’s Nanaimo campus for a sculpture.
The six by six foot sculpture promotes the message of unity, diversity and connection and was created by VIU Graphic Design alumna Laura Timmermans.
The piece is mounted on a wall next to the VIU Bookstore alongside a plaque explaining the artist’s intentions.
The City of Nanaimo commissioned Timmermans to create the sculpture in the spring of 2015 for the Temporary Public Art program.
It was displayed at Nanaimo’s Port Theatre for several months.
