For more details, please continue reading below…

With many recent public art projects nearing completion, the focus is now on a revitalized part of the city.

Love this design. Public art is so important to the enjoyment of our #HamOnt public spaces. Spent some time on the west coast last summer and was impressed with the celebration of indigenous culture through public art pieces – great to see more of that here! https://t.co/yZy4nNn6s1 pic.twitter.com/fRfz0vhhPm

The City of Hamilton is seeking submissions through Thursday, February 27^th, 2020 from artists or artist-led teams for a permanent public art work at the corner of King William St. and James St. N.

The project will be looking to focus on the following: “The new public art should be a landmark that signifies the entrance to the King William Street district and expresses the character of this evolving area, both day and night, to those visiting the street and passing on James Street inviting them to take part in local events and patronize local businesses.”

Submissions will be accepted until February 27th, 2020. For more information on the project, click here.
