The City of Charlottetown invites P.E.I.-based artists and creatives to apply for a paid public art opportunity to have their original art featured on traffic control cabinets around Charlottetown.
Four artists will be selected through a single-stage competition process to have their work reproduced on vinyl wrap and installed on a traffic control panel in Charlottetown for up to five years.
There is no theme for this call. The project aims to add more public art to the City of Charlottetown and provide a paid opportunity for artists to contribute to the vitality and attractiveness of intersections where people walk, bike, roll, drive, or take transit throughout the city.
Selected artists will be paid $1,500 (plus HST, if applicable) for this commission and will collaborate with a City-led project team to create new original artwork or refine existing artwork. The project team will provide technical support as needed, and the City will cover printing costs and the installation of the vinyl wrap.
The submission deadline is Monday, Nov. 16 at 11:59 p.m. AST.
