Deadline: 30-Jul-22
The StreetARToronto (StART) is currently seeking applications for the 2022 StART Just Us Art Project to celebrate the City of Toronto motto “Diversity Our Strength” and foster a greater sense of belonging among all.
StART welcomes and actively seeks out partners for initiatives that support program objectives and works closely with partnership staff in other City divisions and agencies and supports City partnership activities.
The goal of this Request for Concept Descriptions is to establish a roster of projects eligible to participate in the StART “Just Us” Art Project.
StART has received requests from artists interested in doing more projects in support of Black Lives Matter and justice for Indigenous Peoples. In response, this “Just Us” Art Call is for concepts for mural projects or activations that highlight social injustice, equity, race relations and community engagement. StART is collaborating with NIA Centre for the Arts and 7th Generation Image Makers for the 2021 Just Us Art Project.
For this Request for Concept Descriptions, the City of Toronto is seeking submissions from street, mural and graffiti artists or artist collectives who have access to a wall exposed to city streets with written authorization from the property owner granting the artist permission to paint their mural concept on the wall
Benefits
An Advisory Panel will select up to 10 projects from the roster to receive up to $3,000 toward the creation of their project.
Eligibility Criteria
- Artist applicants must reside in the City of Toronto.
