Vandalism and Theft of Treasured Outdoor Art Pieces

It is with great disappointment that we must report the vandalism and theft of one of our treasured outdoor art pieces. Les Demoiselles d’Arigonon by artist Kent Monkman features a Cadillac with five stylized painted wooden figures. Staff noticed damage to the outdoor installation on April 5, 2018 and discovered that the vehicle had been broken into and that two of the figures were missing.

If you have any information about this theft or the whereabouts of these figures please contact the Woodland Cultural Centre at 519-759-2650 x 243. The Brantford Police Department have been contacted and are aware of this unfortunate incident.
