Call to Artists for Expressions of Interest and Qualifications
The Winnipeg Arts Council invites local artists to submit Expressions of Interest and Qualifications to create artwork for the Mike O’Shaughnessy Library in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Treaty 1 Territory and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
The selected artist or artist team will create a cohesive multi-panel artwork, provide high-resolution digital files, and work with the City of Winnipeg to integrate the artwork into laminated bulkheads along the mall corridor. The City of Winnipeg will manage the fabrication and installation of the artwork.
Deadline: August 25, 2026
Artist Fee: $12,500
The artwork will be selected through a two-stage process, with the first stage focused on the artist’s approach and qualifications.
Interested artists must submit a complete application package to be considered, as outlined in the Call to Artists below.
We encourage applications from all professional artists, including Indigenous artists—First Nations, Métis, and Inuit—as well as from Black, racialized, 2SLGBTQ+, non-binary, Deaf artists, and artists with disabilities.
