Rooted in Art Call for Submissions

The City of Charlottetown is seeking submissions for Rooted in Art 2022, an opportunity for artists to create temporary art installations inspired by Charlottetown trees.

Rooted in Art is a tree appreciation initiative intended to celebrate the importance and beauty of Charlottetown's urban forest. 

To celebrate trees and all they offer, Rooted in Art will match local artists with trees in Charlottetown. Each artist will create an art installation on or around one of the selected trees. These artworks, which will be installed for two weeks in October 2022, are intended to engage the community with nature in a new way and reflect the importance of the urban forest. The Rooted in Art theme for 2022 is 'Protecting our Urban Forest'. Each installation will be accompanied by signage that educates viewers about the tree in question and highlights the artist involved. 
Submissions must be received by August 30, 2022 at 4:00p.m. by email to [email protected] or in person at City Hall (199 Queen Street).

Please see the call for submissions HERE to learn more about submission requirements, how to apply, and the details of the initiative.
