The town of Sussex is seeking to commission seven new site-specific murals that will be created in the summer of 2025 and will remain on public display for 5-10 years. These dynamic new pieces of art will connect and engage with the community, transforming the sites into vibrant, inviting and meaningful public places.
Eligible artists are invited to submit expressions of interest and qualifications to this call.
The commissioned artists will be selected through an open, two-stage process. The site-specific project budgets include all costs directly associated with the artwork: including taxes, artist fees, production, materials, equipment rental, installation, and other professional services, accommodations, insurance, WorkSafe fee, travel and other incidental and production expenses.
Artists will be shortlisted and each paid $400 CAD (inclusive of all taxes) to create detailed proposals.
The deadline to apply is July 13, 2025.
