For 100 years, the Legion has honoured and supported Veterans, their families, and communities across Canada. The City is seeking artwork that honours the dedication and sacrifice of Canada’s military personnel and offers a meaningful opportunity for community reflection. The call is open to artists working in all mediums. Proposals are invited for self-supporting two-dimensional and three-dimensional works suitable for a downtown Summerside location. Artists are encouraged to consider sites along Water Street and in Memorial Square, taking into account the setting and public experience of their proposed work.
Artists are asked to explain how the proposed work relates to Summerside, engages or impacts the community, and responds to the centenary theme. Applications should also address the significance of the proposed location and include relevant location research and photographs or maps. Proposals should consider accessibility for residents and visitors, materials and durability over time, maintenance and installation expenses, and a project timeline that includes development and installation. If the proposed work is permanent, applicants should explain how it will remain relevant in the future.
Artists working in all mediums are welcome to submit proposals. Artists with questions about suitability or the application process may contact Culture Summerside.
The available project budget is $13,000 plus applicable taxes for completion of the artwork. This total must cover materials, artist fees, any engineering or fabrication fees where applicable, and all installation expenses. Applicants must submit a detailed project budget.
Submissions will be reviewed by the City of Summerside Public Art Working Group and the Public Art Selection Panel. Following evaluation, applicants will be contacted about next steps and may be asked to provide additional information or answer questions.
