The Town of Bracebridge is inviting professional artists to submit an expression of interest for the creation of a large-scale public art installation at the new Muskoka Lumber Community Centre that brings vibrancy to the space and reflects the spirit of Muskoka.
The Town of Bracebridge is committed to community vibrancy and public art helps develop a sense of place, strengthen community and tells a story. Three locations for public art have been identified at the facility; one exterior and two interior. Artists are invited to submit their proposals, including chosen location, by Friday, September 29 at 3 p.m.
Interested artists can view details of the Request for Expressions of Interest at bracebridge.ca/bidsandtenders.
