New Public Art opportunity -Georgia Street Entrance to Stanley Park. Vancouver (Canada)
This call
for expressions of interest by the City of Vancouver's Olympic and
Paralympic Public Art Program seeks artists for a significant public
art commission at the west end of Georgia Street at the entrance to
Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia. This commission is a once
in a generation opportunity to provide Vancouver with a signature
artwork that will serve as an enduring legacy of the 2010 Olympic and
