Help Celebrate Lakeview Park’s 100th Anniversary
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Lakeview Park, the City of Oshawa invites artists of all ages, mediums and skill levels to submit proposals showcasing Lakeview Park past and present for the most recent installation of temporary public art in Oshawa.
The temporary art project will see the City’s Public Art Task Force choosing 10 submissions that will then be featured on banners showcased on the existing light poles throughout Lakeview Park.
Interested artists are encouraged to submit up to three sketches or mock-ups along with an application form. The deadline for submissions is Sunday, July 5. For more information on the Call to Artists, application form and the submission details and process, please visit the Public Art Opportunities – Call for Artists section at www.oshawa.ca/publicart.
This project supports the strategies of “Create Vibrant Places and Spaces” and “Conserve and Celebrate Oshawa’s Rich History and Heritage” identified in Culture Counts: Oshawa’s Arts, Culture and Heritage Plan. Implementation of this project is guided and supported by the City’s Public Arts Master Plan, which was approved by Council in June 2018.
Community members using outdoor amenities and visiting Oshawa parks and trails are reminded to adhere to safety protocols, government orders and health authority guidelines amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
