Our Alleyway 2.0 (Connecting Fleming Centre to King Street) is opening on June 24th! 

Visit the alleyway to see Lincoln's Newest public art!  
​
The Alleyway Concept:

​The vision for the west side of the pathway to feature 16 artist using their artistic vision and style that will be hung on the chain link fencing to create a walking art gallery. 
 
The east side of the chain link fence will feature a walking art installation of Indigenous Visual Arts design of thanksgiving, giving acknowledgement to people, earth, water, plants, animals, birds, bushes, trees, winds, sun, moon, stars as well as the unseen spiritual forces.
 
The entrance from the Fleming will feature a The wampum belt symbolisms will share knowledge of relationships through ‘ two row and friendship wampum belts. The ‘dish with one spoon ‘ wampum belt of gratefulness and sustenance. Opening a pathway of understanding and encouraging pathway of dialogue to continue cultivating relationships.
 
A designated area adjacent to the alleyway will feature a Reflection / Recognition safe space supporting honouring of those who did not return home and a space of healing. A sculpture commemorative to honour the children , as was called for in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. Unknown children to be held in heart and minds within a space of honouring and healing.
 
We have partnered with the Music for the Spirit Indigenous Visual Art Youth Team (Music for the Spirit is a Youth Led grass roots initiative,  celebrating 8th year of program, of the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory (Haudenosaunee). The program has provided access for young and youth participants to enjoy music and Indigenous Visual arts from one generation to the next.) to create this art install of community space teaching of relationships, connectedness and thanksgiving.
 
The asphalt strip that runs though the alleyway will feature a sensory pathway, which is a series of guided movements for users to follow, shown by vibrant markings on the ground. As users follow the path and complete the movements, they work off excess energy and develop their gross motor skills. The various movements on a path are often designed to engage different parts of the body and brain.
 
Finally, during the spring and summer months there is a section midway on the pathway that is arched with lush branches from an old oak tree that will be enhanced from above with decorative, whimsical hanging lanterns. 
About the Artist:

My name is Dan Kozina I’m a tattoo artist and painter from Niagara Falls. My passion for creating lead me to a career in tattooing and mural painting.

My work often features surreal enviroments with animals and nature blending together. I like to envoke a sense of positivity and beauty with bright colors and friendly characters who take the forms of animals, creatures and human figures. Sacred geometry and symbolic shapes are always hidden throughout my art in both tattoos and paints. Elevating the community with inspiring and uplifting imagery is the reason I make art.

You can find me tattooing at DawgPound Tattoo studio in Niagara Falls and painting murals around the region through my small business Knight and Day Murals.
