The two-stage public art project plans to integrate artwork created by local artists into City spaces such as parks, recreation facilities and downtown City Hall. Stage one (Indoor) will be completed early next year and stage two (Outdoor) will be completed later in the year.

The program is looking for new, recent or past two-dimensional original works to be considered for the program. A selection committee will discuss each application and select four artworks; considering artistic merit, relevance and feasibility. The commission value for each artwork is $4,500.

The four selected artworks will be installed and displayed for twelve to eighteen months at either City Hall, Kinsmen Civic Centre, Healthy Planet Arena or the Sport and Wellness Centre, rotating the works between sites at the end of each term.

The Indoor artworks will be mounted on the main foyers of each facility.

More information about the project can be found on the City’s Public Art website.
