Tembo and her baby elephants will get their annual bath this weekend.
Residents are invited to the Windsor Sculpture Park this Saturday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to help the conservation team wash the bronze sculpture.
"Help us give Tembo and her babies the care they deserve. Grab a sponge, get immersed, and make memories while learning more about the City of Windsor’s beautiful and dynamic public artworks. The addition of entertainer and local legend Matthew Romain is sure to make this year’s event unforgettable,” said Salina Larocque, cultural development coordinator.
All supplies will be provided on site.
Tembo is one of 30 large-scale art pieces in the "museum without walls" found along Windsor's riverfront park.
Conservation and preservation work is done each year by summer students. These students assess, document, repaint, clean, and wax the sculptures along the waterfront while preserving other works throughout Windsor.
