The Winnipeg Arts Council invites artists residing in Canada to submit expressions of interest and qualifications to create a permanent public artwork on the sloped area southeast of the proposed Waverley Underpass project in Winnipeg, Manitoba, located on Treaty 1 territory.
The Winnipeg Arts Council is committed to equity and inclusion, and encourages applications from culturally diverse, Deaf, and disability artists. The Winnipeg Arts Council recognizes and affirms the Aboriginal and treaty rights of the Indigenous people of this land and encourages applications from First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists. We commit to fair representation on our selection committees and reconciliation in the arts through education, awareness and continued conversation.
