BURLINGTON, ON
The most recent Local Artist Program is open for submissions until February 16.
This program commissions local artists to create a variety of small to medium scale murals throughout Burlington. The City is inviting local artists to submit their design ideas for three unique locations:
Odd location for public art.
Lampman Park, 1691 Lampman Ave.
Award: $1,000
This mural will be printed on a vinyl wrap that will cover a small water system safety cover box. The artwork must cover all four sides plus the top of the box.
Great location fr the right message. It will be interesting to see what comes in in terms of messages. How creative are the independent artists in the city?
Waterfront Parking Garage, 414 Locust St. exterior wall
Award: $1,000
This mural will replace the large exterior banner facing Lakeshore Road. The artwork will act as a “Welcome to Burlington” sign and will be reproduced on a large-format vinyl banner.
Waterfront Parking Garage, 414 Locust St. interior wall
Award: $6,500
A new mural is being commissioned for the interior of the parking garage on the ground floor. The artwork will be reproduced and printed on a vinyl wrap.
This location will be a challenge. Driver are more concerned about negotiating the tight space.
All three projects are design only commissions: the City of Burlington will be responsible for the fabrication and installation of the vinyl wraps. Burlington artists may create a new artwork concept for this project or reformat an existing artwork. Successful artists will need to submit a high-resolution digital file of their artwork concept (help is available upon request). Applicants must be a resident of Burlington, Ont.
Applications are due by Friday, February 16, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. For more information and to apply online, please visit the Calls for Artists page.
