Back to SearchThe Town of Midland is issuing a call for artists for five new public art projects. The projects include a mural at the east entrance of Little Lake Park, vinyl wraps on various utility boxes throughout Town and some beautification projects at the Town Harbour.
“Public art adds colour and interest to our public spaces and makes our community a vibrant and exciting place to live and visit,” said Karen Mealing, Manager of Culture and Community for the Town.
Themes for art projects range depending on final installation locations and include connecting to Midland tourism, culture and heritage, proximity to Georgian Bay and/or being abstract in concept and design.
While the murals are expected to be painted onto panels for installation, the utility box wraps are open to various visual arts media including painting, drawing, photography, mixed media and digital art.
“We live in an area with immense artistic talent, and we look forward to showcasing more artwork in town,” said Mayor Bill Gordon.
The call for artists is open to those living in Simcoe County, Barrie, and Orillia. The deadline for all proposals is August 4, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. with installation dates set for the fall.
Those looking for details or to submit a proposal can find further information on the Town’s website at midland.ca/art.
