Call for Artists: 2024 Public Art Installation City of Regina
Events, Call for Entries
The City of Regina is looking to receive proposals for an art installation within the newly developed community of The Towns in southeast Regina.
Application Deadline: March 4, 2024 by 4:00 pm
Project Completion Deadline: October 11, 2024
The Artwork
The City of Regina invites practicing artists to submit proposals for the creation of a new, original public artwork exploring the theme of railways in Saskatchewan, for installation in Horizon Station Park, Regina. The intention of this commission is to respond to and explore the complex histories relating to the development and legacies of Saskatchewan’s railroads. In particular, the artwork should reflect on the underrepresented stories of the railways and acknowledge difficult truths related to the collision of cultures it contributed to.
The objective of the Horizon Station Park is to provide year-round active recreation with an outdoor skating rink, dog park, basketball nets, skating and walking loop, train themed playground and more. The artwork should elevate the space in the winter as well as during the warmer seasons. Ideally, it will incorporate lighting to provide a safe and inviting area within the park in the evening and throughout the winter.
Project Information
- The proposed budget for this project is $200,000, which includes artist fees, all materials and artwork design.
- Elements such as electrical rough-ins, structural (piles/foundations) and limited installation support will be provided by the Towns Development.
- This call is open to mid-career and established artists, or artist led groups in Canada.
- Preference will be given to artists with ties to Treaty 4 Territory.
- Delivery date for this project is October 11, 2024.
