Call to Artists: Saanich Fire Station No. 2 Public Art Project

CALL TO ARTISTS: Request for Expressions of Interest and Qualifications
Deadline: August 28, 2024, 4:00 p.m.

The District of Saanich invites applications from professional artists or artist teams to create outdoor public artwork for the new Fire Station No. 2 in the Royal Oak community. Expected completion is 2026.

Artwork is selected through a two-stage public jury process:
• Stage 1: Request for Expressions of Interest and Qualifications
• Stage 2: Request for Proposals (shortlisted artists only; compensation provided).

The opportunity is open to professional British Columbia artists or artist teams who are either: residents of British Columbia, or from British Columbia with ongoing connections to the province. Saanich is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from First Nations and Indigenous artists, as well as artists who identify with equity-deserving groups.
