ARTISTS WORKING IN COMMUNITY
An eight-week course designed for professional artists to explore and develop a community-based public art practice. Artists will propose a project for the Sheldon M. Chumir Centre (2016’s community partner) that involves the public in the design/making of the project.

Deadline: Monday, Feb. 22, 2016 at 10 a.m.

PAINTED CITY ROSTER

Painted City covers any program or request where an artist applies 2D artwork to City-owned property. This includes our much-loved Utility Box Program; the new Street Art Program for Youth; plus banners, decals, murals and more.

We’re looking for artists to include on a roster eligible to create artworks for any Painted City opportunities.

Deadline: Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2016 at 4 p.m.

PRINT MEDIA LEAD ARTIST
To help develop an interest in creating public art in Calgary, the Utility Box Program and abprintmakers are joining efforts to create a mentorship program. This program has a lead artist with expertise in printmaking who will help up to 10 members of the Alberta Printmakers learn and develop new techniques. The group will apply what they’ve learned by creating artworks for a pre-selected group of utility boxes, working with the local community to create art that is meaningful to them.

Deadline for lead artist: Thursday, March 10, 2016 at 4 p.m.

PUBLIC ART PROGRAM MENTORSHIPS
We will be offering up to five mentorship opportunities from June to December 2016. These opportunities are designed to provide professional development for artists interested in pursuing a public art practice. Those chosen will have the chance to work with professional, world-renowned public artists working on large-scale projects in Calgary. They will have one-on-one meetings, shadow and assist their mentor when possible.

The mentorship call will go out early next week.
