Ontario-Call for Aboriginal Artists

Region of Waterloo Public Art Program
Art Competition Brief for Waterloo Region Museum

1. Introduction

This document sets out the information that will be supplied by the Region of Waterloo and the information required from the artist to satisfy the requirements of the Art Competition for the Waterloo Region Museum Building (the Museum) in Kitchener, Ontario.

This art competition has a total price of $90,000 (plus GST) which recognizes the size and complexity of the finished artwork and includes all costs up to and including installation of the finished artwork but not including the cost of the plaque. The plaque will be provided by the Region naming the artist and the name of the artwork. This competition is intended for a single artwork and the $90,000 amount will be paid to a single artist. It will be up to the artist to decide if the artwork comprises more than one separate and distinct piece and if the lead artist chooses to involve other artist partners.

For purposes of establishing a contract, the Region requires the full name of the artist, their studio or residence address and daytime telephone number. If other artist partners are going to be recognized for their contribution to the artwork, these should be identified. The contract is to be signed by the lead artist only.

2. Artist Eligibility

This art competition is only open to Aboriginal artists who reside in the Province of Ontario or artist teams which have as one member, a status or non-status Aboriginal person resident in Ontario. The Region wants to recognize as part of its history that Aboriginal persons were present at the location of the Museum before all others. Therefore the stories to be told in the Museum will start with an artwork to be encountered by visitors as they first come upon the building from the parking lot.

3. Context

The location for this artwork will be the Waterloo Region Museum at 10 Huron Road in Kitchener Ontario. From the 401, take Homer Watson Blvd then right on Huron Road. More specifically, the intended site is shown in the attached drawing and labeled “Potential Artwork Area”. This could include either land or water environments. Artists should visit the site to understand the opportunities and limitations for this outdoor artwork.

Themes for the artwork could include plants, trees, animals, birds or other flora or fauna of the area, nature’s spirituality, ancient elements of earth, water, fire and air or other concepts that would integrate with the natural area of the intended artwork site.
