Call to Visual Artists for Expressions of Interest (EOIs)
Urban Infrastructure Public Art Project Opportunity
Rapid Transit Bus Shelter Art Project (Stage 2)
The London Arts Council (LAC), in partnership with the City of London, invites visual artists who are 18 years of age or older and reside in London, Ontario, or in one of the three surrounding First Nations, including Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, Oneida Nation of the Thames, and Munsee Delaware Nation, to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) for consideration in the Rapid Transit Bus Shelter Urban Infrastructure Public Art Project (Stage 2).
Applications must be submitted through the online application system and will be accepted until Friday, October 16, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Each submission will be reviewed by a panel of assessors, who will select five (5) artists to develop original designs for the 10 Rapid Transit bus shelters.
Each selected artist will be commissioned to create artwork for two (2) paired shelters at the same bus stop, based on community-informed themes identified through the public consultation process and the project specifications.
Following consultation with LAC and completion of the design development process, selected artists will be required to submit their final artworks as digital files in accordance with the prescribed digital specifications and project requirements. Upon approval of the final artworks, the City of London's contractors will fabricate the artworks into panels and install them above the designated bus shelters.
Please review the full details (PDF below) before submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI).
