Building on the success of the neighbourhood beautification pilot project launched in 2023, the City of Brampton is calling for local artists to apply for the My Neighbourhood Art Project. This initiative aims to activate, revitalize, and transform community spaces through public art, enhancing the city’s beauty and creating dynamic and vibrant environments.
The My Neighbourhood Art Project will expand the City’s collection of over 50 temporary and permanent public art installations. The City seeks artists to create community-engaged, temporary public artworks that will shape public spaces and contribute to the community’s identity. Selected artists will lead workshops tailored to the interests of local communities, generating ideas and artwork to inspire larger installations. Additionally, artists will engage residents in creating larger public art pieces, such as murals, through community paint days.
As part of Brampton’s Culture Master Plan, the My Neighbourhood Art Project reinforces the City’s commitment to enhancing public spaces and promoting creative expression. By collaborating with local artists, the City aims to create vibrant spaces that reflect the diverse backgrounds and heritages of the community.
How to Apply
All artists with a passion for community engagement, a flair for public art, and an interest in joining Brampton’s roster of creative collaborators are invited to apply.
Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis until all roster spaces are filled or by June 28, 2024, whichever comes first. Lead artists will be compensated up to $7,500 and assistant artists up to $2,500, for a commitment spanning the summer and early fall of 2024.
