Project Award
The Selection Panel chose “A Shared Trail” by Brandon Vickerd as the winning entry in the Pipeline Trail Public Art Competition. "A Shared Trail" consists of three separate sculpture/bench combinations, each featuring the form of a wild animal dynamically perched atop a functional bench. The animals depicted in A Shared Trail are a wild turkey, a whitetail deer, and a coyote, all of which are native to Hamilton’s east end.

The work was installed in Fall 2025 along the Pipeline Trail south Cannon Street East between Crosthwaite and Garside Avenue North.
Selection Panel Report
The artwork was chosen by a Selection Panel composed of residents and arts professionals through a two-stage process.
- Stage 1 asked for expressions of interest and qualifications
- Stage 2 required shortlisted artists to submit a detailed proposal
The Selection Panel then met to determine which of the four short-listed artist/artist teams’ proposals would be selected by the City of Hamilton for commission. The Report details the process and discussion.
Public Consultation took place from from June 21 through July 7, 2024 via the Engage Hamilton website. Thank you to the 81people that took the time to review and share their perspectives.

The results of this consultation were provided to the selection panel for consideration among other criteria such as artistic excellence and technical experience in their selection of the winning proposal.
