Call for Proposals: 2023 Public Art Banners, City of Surrey

Call for Artists (Public Art)
2023 Public Art Banners, Surrey, BC

Deadline: January 6, 2023
Design Fee: $3,000
*Fabrication and installation costs covered by the City

Every year, the City of Surrey Public Art Program commissions artwork to be displayed on approximately 100 street poles near significant cultural destinations in Surrey. These artist-designed street banners add colour and vibrancy to streets throughout the City. They can also be opportunities to shine light on the issues affecting Surrey residents.

Today’s biggest problems cannot be solved by an individual, yet their impacts affect us individually. Solutions require collective action. How might we see each other for our similarities despite our differences? How can we come together in a spirit of collaboration instead of conflict?

The City of Surrey is inviting proposals for an artist to create a design that inspires collaboration and collective action to be part of the Public Art Banner initiative for 2023.
