Mississauga Art Council (MAC)

Mississauga Art Council’s Murals with MAC program in collaboration with HATCH x Peel Region, hoarding project location MH3 & MH3A

Call for Submissions: Streetsville Hoarding Project (57m Hoarding Mural on Mississauga Road, Mississauga)

Project Code: MM26-MH3 & MH3A Mississauga Rd
Submission Deadline: Monday, April 6, 2026, 12:00am ET

Mississauga Arts Council’s Murals with MAC, in support of the Region of Peel Public Works and HATCH, is launching five hoarding mural projects across designated sites in Ward 11. Councillor Brad Butt, together with Heritage Mississauga, the Streetsville BIA, and the Streetsville Historical Society are collaborators on this initiative to provide meaningful artistic opportunities for local artists while celebrating Streetsville’s rich history, past and present, through compelling, site-specific artworks. Murals with MAC is seeking dynamic and impactful imagery that captures the unique spirit and character of Ward 11’s Streetsville community.

Project Overview – Natural Dynamics

Theme: Canadian Landscape, Flora & Animals
Murals with MAC is inviting two (2) Mississauga-based artists to create three (3) mural designs each that pay homage to iconic Canadian landscape artists, such as the Group of Seven, while incorporating Ontario’s native plants and animals. Given the industrialized character of the surrounding area, the environment currently feels stark and would greatly benefit from the warmth and vibrancy of nature-inspired public art. This call encourages artists to reimagine the space by bringing elements of our natural landscape into an otherwise bleak setting.
