The artwork will be selected through a two-stage process, with the first stage focused on the artist’s approach and qualifications.

Interested artists must submit a complete application package to be considered. Please download the Call to Artists below for full details.

We encourage applications from all professional artists, including Indigenous artists—First Nations, Métis, and Inuit—as well as from Black, racialized, 2SLGBTQ+, non-binary, Deaf artists, and artists with disabilities.
