'Water from Multiple Perspectives' Public Art Commission.

TELUS Spark* is seeking expressions of interest from qualified artists or artist teams who are passionate about exploring the link between public art and water.

The new Science Centre is able to provide the opportunity for an artist to create a site‐specific work of art to be outdoors in a designed parkland area.

The artist selected for this project will have experience in public art, a demonstrated ability to work within timelines and budgets, experience working with a landscape design team and landscape construction companies. An all-­‐inclusive budget of $100,000 Canadian** has been allocated for the selected artist to engage in this unique opportunity.
