Assiniboine Park Permanent Project

Artists are invited to submit first-stage proposals in a two-stage call for a permanent, site-responsive public art installation in Assiniboine Park.

Deadline for proposals is February 2, 2007.

The selected artist will create a permanent artwork in the area of the Footbridge in Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Park just celebrated its one-hundredth anniversary. Although designed in the English Landscape Style the Park is firmly rooted in the Prairie landscape. Assiniboine Park is a vital gathering place, and the site for the artwork installation is located in an important transition area.

This national call is open to Canadian artists.
