About the Painted Picnic Table Program
The Painted Picnic Table program was launched in 2021 as an initiative to find new and creative mediums to display original pieces from local artists. These tables help to beautify and transform our downtown area by adding colourful, unique displays handcrafted by local talent. The picnic tables will also assist in providing extra seating to support our local downtown businesses and restaurants by encouraging both residents and visitors to take a seat and enjoy a nice meal in the sun.

This year, the Town of Cobourg is once again seeking local artists to submit their designs for 10 picnic tables that will be placed Downtown Cobourg for the summer season. Local artists are encouraged to submit their table design no later than June 3, 2022 to Jackie Chapman-Davis, Community Events Coordinator by emailing jchapmandavis@cobourg.ca. The artists whose designs are chosen for the ten picnic tables will each receive a $300 honorarium. Artists looking for additional information about the program can contact Jackie at 905-373-7976.
