Village Of Wellington Celebrates Another Successful Art In Public Places Program

On Monday, Dec. 7, the Wellington Parks & Recreation Board recognized artists Talia Fradkin and Rania Awada Assi, whose pieces were selected for exhibit in the Art in Public Places program.

Fradkin, a high school senior and 17-year-old Wellington resident, has previously participated in both the Student Art Program and the 11th annual Art in Public Places program. An active volunteer in her community and leader in numerous local clubs, Fradkin enjoys taking photos of nature.

Assi, also a returning artist to the Art in Public Places program, has a background in journalism and enjoys the expressive quality of painting.

The program is an ongoing collaboration between the Village of Wellington and the Wellington Art Society. This year’s artwork will be displayed in Village Park and the Lake Wellington Professional Centre.
