Projection Mapping Mentorship

Submission Deadline: July 8, 2025, 11:59pm EDT

The City of Mississauga’s Public Art Program is working with AVA Animation and Visual Arts Inc. to once again transform the façade of the Hazel McCallion Central Library into a giant canvas for large-scale 3D projection mapping.

Project Requirements

AVA will lead a series of four projection mapping workshops where selected emerging artists will work to bring their projection mapping ideas into reality. Participants can expect to:

• Gain skills in projection mapping processes, programs and best practices.
• Expand their portfolio, exploring projection mapping as a new medium and creative resource.
• Build connections and expand their network with other artists and curators.
• Learn from AVA about their experience in content creation for projection mapping.

Eligibility

We are seeking up to seven emerging artists, designers, and/or illustrators residing in Ontario to participate in a series of projection mapping workshops, where artists will bring their projection mapping ideas into reality. Preference will be given to artists that have a connection to Mississauga, including having a connection to the land, and/or being a current or former Mississauga resident. Students, including art, design, illustration and animation students are encouraged to apply.
