City of Mississauga – Call to Emerging Artists
Public Art Banners

Deadline: February 19, 2025 by 11:59pm EST

The City of Mississauga’s Public Art Program seeks to commission an emerging artist, artist team, or illustrator to create original banner artwork.

The commissioned artist(s) will receive $10,000 CAD + HST to create six digital artwork files, which will be printed on vinyl banners.

Banner artwork will be displayed on light pole standards throughout the city, creating a captivating and uplifting visual presence from June 2025 to early 2026.

The City will work directly with a contractor to fabricate and install the banners. Directly overseeing and managing this contract are not included in the commissioned artist(s)’ scope of work or budget, although the commissioned artist(s) will have the opportunity to shadow City staff to gain knowledge in contracting public art fabricators.

To learn more about this opportunity and to apply, visit the Call for Submissions page.
