    Public Art Call for Artists – 2025 Opportunities

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [05 February 2025] — The Town of Collingwood is thrilled to announce several exciting public art opportunities for artists in 2025. Artists are invited to share their talents and participate in these unique projects, each designed to enhance community spaces and celebrate Collingwood’s vibrant culture.

    Why Public Art Matters
     

    Public art plays a crucial role in enriching community spaces and events. It transforms ordinary places into inspiring environments, fosters a sense of identity and pride, and encourages public engagement and dialogue. Public art also supports artists and contributes to the cultural and economic vitality of our community.

    Recent public art installations include “Dare to Dream” at Tremont Square, the striking Lighthouse Sculptures on Hurontario Street, and the interactive art sculpture “Gookooko’oo” at Sunset Point Park.
