“Whale Watch”
The Painted Orcas Sculpture Series in British Columbia is a public art initiative featuring life-sized orca sculptures, each uniquely painted by local artists. These vibrant sculptures celebrate the region’s rich marine heritage and the cultural significance of orcas to Indigenous communities. Placed in various locations across the province, the orcas serve as both a tribute to the majestic marine life of the Pacific Northwest and a symbol of environmental conservation. The series invites residents and visitors alike to explore and appreciate the diverse artistry and ecological themes represented in each piece.
