The Department of Canadian Heritage (PCH) is seeking professional Canadian artists who work with large-scale outdoor format sculptures, including interactive and light installations. PCH wishes to showcase Canadian artistic excellence through temporary outdoor exhibits in Canada’s Capital Region at highly visible locations in downtown Ottawa and Gatineau and installations for major events.
PCH is inviting artists to submit up to three existing three-dimensional artworks to be retained as part of a pre-qualified artwork inventory for long-term exhibits and major events. This inventory will remain active from March 2020 to December 2021, with a possibility of a one-year extension.
Once the artworks are pre-qualified, PCH may then select one or more for exhibition for a determinate period. This may be as part of a major event held in Canada’s capital or as an autonomous installation for an extended duration (e.g., 6 months to 2 years).
