As part of the Patios on Public Space Program, the City is excited to commission an Edmonton artist to paint 80 concrete barriers which will be placed around patios to maintain the safety of all users.
The artist will paint one side of each mural, approximately 9’ 10” by 2’ 10”. The paint and primer used by the artist should be permanent and able to endure all weather conditions for around one year.
Theme
Diversity and inclusion. More specific themes will be shared with the artist by Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) and the artist may need to adapt their vision as they liaise with BIAs.
Budget
$20,000 including paint and supplies.
Location
Painting of the barriers will occur at the City’s Cromdale Yard, 80 Street and 117 Avenue. Barriers will be placed and moved as needed to accommodate the artist.
