Children's artwork on fence
For the past few years, the Town of Newmarket (Ontario) has been undergoing a major facelift. Some of the renovations are in plain view and others are partially hidden. The old Town Hall is an example of a partially hidden reno, and art by local kids hides some of the mess outside on a side street close to the centre of town.
Paintings and a little peek at some of what's of the other side of the fence
The old Town Hall is a lovely old yellow brick building that deserves to be rejuvenated.

Already repaired, the bell tower (too tall to be hidden by the fence!) hints at the treasure the building will be when the work on the rest of the building is complete.

The art work by kids always seems to be bright and colorful.
It's always nice to see children participating in a city project like this. There's some good artwork there!
Interesting that none of the scenes the children depicted appear to be of buildings. :-)
Creative way to hide and still emphasize the work being done.
It is a good way to brighten up what would otherwise be visual clutter. And what's being worked on looks worthwhile.
Heisann!
What a good idea having children´s painting fixed on the fence in front of a reno-mess!
Have a nice week ;:OD)
How wonderful that the town hall is getting some TLC. And on top of that, bright and colorful artwork to hide all the renovations. Lovely images :)
The bell tower is so charming. Would love to climb it.

What an artsy way to make that reconstruction site look lovely! Beautiful tower on the town hall!
That is a beautiful bell tower. Looking forward to seeing the fully rennovated building.
The bell tower is lovely! The scrollwork, especially!!
The art work is great way to cover up the sometimes messy construction work.
Kids must be proud to see their drawings as an exhibition in streets!
How wonderful that the space is being used to display the chidren's artwork. The bell tower is fab.
