WATERFRONT DRIVE

Attention CANADIAN ARTISTS

The Winnipeg Arts Council, on behalf of the City of Winnipeg’s Planning, Property and Development Department, invites artists to submit expressions of interest to develop a permanent art installation in the area of Waterfront Drive in downtown Winnipeg. This national call is open to Canadian artists.

Waterfront Drive, located along the Red River north of the Forks, is a historically, culturally and environmentally significant site. Just north of the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, Waterfront Drive provides a link to other existing or emerging developments such as the arts and cultural district, the historic Exchange District, Portage and Main, The Forks, CanWest Global Baseball Park, and the planned Museum of Human Rights. It is located across the Red River from the City’s French Quarter, now connected by the splendid new Esplanade Riel.

Deadline for receipt of expressions of interest is October 13, 2006. Artists must submit a complete application package.
