The City of Mississauga is looking for professional artists to create permanent public artwork at the Burnhamthorpe Community Centre, which is currently closed for renovations, and a new addition to the facility.

The City said it is seeking to commission “playful and interactive art that becomes a unique gathering space for those who may not always see themselves reflected in their built environment.”

It is encouraging artists with experience creating innovative public art that is “functional, inclusive, and accessible” to apply.

Those interested in the project must submit credentials and expressions of interest by March 31 at 4 p.m. It’s a two-stage selection process and up to four artists will be shortlisted from this call to develop a proposal.

The City said the budget for this artwork is $192,000 plus HST and it aims to install and unveil the artwork next fall.
