Public art opportunity call for proposals

We are seeking expressions of interest from artists who live and work in Waterloo Region to create a public art commission for the centre.

We invite artists or artist teams to apply for consideration by a project jury. This is the first stage in a three-stage competition. Jurors will select the preferred candidates from expressions of interest received. Short-listed artists will be paid to produce and present site-specific proposals in stage two. Stage three will ask for the public’s input to select one of up to three finalists chosen by the jury.

The call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) is open to:

  • established artists or artist teams based in Waterloo Region

  • with experience creating public art and/or participatory artwork with the community

Jurors will give preference to submissions from artists or teams with equity-deserving representation. We strive to reflect citizens’ cultures in the City’s public art collection.
