Regency Group & and the City of North Vancouver are seeking an artist or an artist team to create artwork associated with the development of a new project located in the City of North Vancouver.
The Five Points project comprises a four-storey mixed use development with 44 residential units and 6 commercial retail units at the base of the building along West 14th Street. The development looks to enhance the pedestrian experience along West 14th Street as well as foot traffic through the right of way located on the east side of the project, providing easy access to transit and improved urban ecology. The inclusion of a public art initiative in the development is sought to provide a greater sense of regionalism and place to celebrate the rich and diverse culture of the community. The expectation is to have artwork that is vibrant, diverse and highly visible to the community. Themes should reference site history such as: Geology and Ecology; First Nations; Marine Drive – Moving into the Future.
For detailed project information, download the Request for Expressions of Interest & Qualifications PDF.
This is an open competition for artists residing in British Columbia and Alberta. Teams comprised of architects, landscape architects or other design professionals will not be considered, unless a professional artist is part of the team.
This call does not require the preparation of a proposal. Proponents who enter concepts or design submissions will have their entries returned and will not receive further consideration.
