This is a close up of the "Art at Work" installation at the City of Regina's 4th Avenue Public Works Yard. The gates to the yard are made of cut sheet metal, of city workers in various poses; they in turn are topped with smaller sheet metal figures of citizens doing everyday activities. This is one of the smaller figurines of a skateboarder. I've search the City's website and their archived website on thew way back machine to try and find out who the artist is, but no luck. If anyone can tell me, I'll add his name here.
The gates were installed as part of an "Art at Work" initiative to help celebrate Regina being designated as the Cultural Capital of Canada in 2004. According to the Saskatchewan Arts Board, "(the) innovative Art at Work program (was a program) that would see professional artists working within the business environment...Ten Regina workplaces recruited artists to animate their diverse organizations with the goal of making Regina one of the most compelling places to work in Canada...The project nurtured the creative spirit in all Regina residents and exemplified the benefits of creating partnerships between the arts and other sectors."
