LEGACY LANDMARK ART COMMISSION: CALL FOR CREDENTIALS. Art Gallery of Hamilton, Ontario, (Canada)
Founded in 1914, the AGH is one of Canada?s leading public galleries, with one
of the most important permanent collections in the country. The Gallery also
enjoys a reputation for being an innovator in programming. The Legacy Landmark
Art Commission for the AGH will be sited on Commonwealth Square and the Irving
T. Zucker Sculpture Garden. The artwork will raise the visual and physical profile
of the Gallery, signaling its presence in the heart of the downtown core and
setting a new benchmark for the sculpture collection. It is intended that the
commissioned artwork be of impressive scale and presence, of the highest
quality and with the power to captivate both the general public and
art-appreciating audiences alike.
Public Art
Management (PAM) will be managing this process in tandem with the AGH and will
manage all competitor communications. Questions must be submitted in writing.
The AGH will be responsible for media and other inquiries from the public.
