New artwork needed for Oakville’s under-construction community centre
Published April 9, 2024 at 1:03 pm
As Oakville’s Sixteen Mile Sports Complex moves towards completion, the next step is a piece of art for an interior wall.
To that end, The Town of Oakville is inviting professional Canadian artists to submit expressions of interest to create a permanent piece of public art for the interior wall of the new community centre, opening in 2025.
This call out is a two-stage competition process, starting with an expression of interest that will be reviewed based on merit of their past work, professional qualifications, and experience.
The shortlisted artists will be paid a $1,500 artist fee to develop a proposal of their artwork concept based on detailed artwork specifications.
The goals of the project include enhancing the visual interest of the Sixteen Mile Community Centre space, and engaging Oakville’s diverse and vibrant community.
The selected artist will have a budget of $90,000 to create a final piece of art that will be unveiled at the official grand opening of the centre in June 2025.
