Art Bus 2027 – Richiesta di offerte

Calgary Arts Development’s Art Bus 2027 RFQ is a public art commission that invites artists and artist collectives to submit qualifications for the opportunity to wrap the exterior of a public transit bus with new artwork. The buses will be in service for a minimum of 12 weeks between June and October 2027, with interior display opportunities for selected artists’ existing works. Up to seven artists or collectives will be chosen, each receiving a payment of $9,000 (not including GST) for one original design. The call is open to artists of all career stages and disciplines who live in Calgary/Mohkimsstsis, with residency requirements waived for First Nations, Métis and Inuit artists and collectives operating in the Treaty 7 region. Artists previously selected for Art Bus 2023‑2026 or Centre City Banners 2023‑2028 are ineligible. Applicants receive staff support, design templates, and bus tickets for research. The deadline to apply is October 12, 2026, and the application process is competitive, with a detailed set of guidelines and criteria available on the institution’s website.
