A Simcoe County community set out to freshen up one of its most prominent spaces and now, the new look has been revealed. Sunset Point Park has a brand-new mural after the Town of Collingwood put out a call to local artists. The stage at the prominent park has a mural backdrop showcasing key features of that make the town so unique. In the mural, the Collingwood Terminals are nestled between Blue Mountain’s ski hills and the eye-catching rock tower that’s erected at the park, all against a background of Georgian Bay and a classic Collingwood, cotton candy sunset sky. Painted by Ainsley Brinn-Saunders, the artist drew and designed the artwork specifically for this location, so it’s customized to the space. A volunteer selection committee formed by members of the community ultimately chose the winner after a lengthy review process. The mural sits between four wooden pillars, serving as the backdrop to the Sunset Point Stage, a prominent place seen by park goers and those catching a live music event at the park.
