Following the indoor presentation, and in partnership with the AGN, the Town of Cobourg, Downtown Cobourg BIA, Lakefront Utility Services, and a local landlord, the artwork was previously installed on an exterior wall in the downtown core. It has now been relocated indoors to the Cobourg Community Centre.
In this piece, urban and wild environments collide in search of growth. Shackleton combines melting glaciers, burnt trees and flooded streets to ask pressing questions about our future. How will we adapt and grow in the face of rising temperatures and water levels? What is truly at stake as our climate changes–the planet or humanity?

The Growing Wild Mural has been relocated to the Cobourg Community Centre at 750 D’arcy Street Cobourg, ON. For facility hours please visit cobourg.ca/ccc
