Western International and McIntosh Gallery invite proposals from current Western students for a work of public art on the theme of “150 Years of Canada in the World”.
The selected work of art will be installed for two years on the vertical stone wall on the east side of the International and Graduate Affairs Atrium. The work could take the form of a banner, wall hanging, textile/fabric collage, traditional craft (e.g. quilting or weaving), contemporary art (e.g. photography or collage) or a combination. The work must be environmentally sustainable, contain no hazardous materials, and be recyclable. Projects incorporating recycled materials are encouraged. Technical support for installation will be provided by McIntosh Gallery. Please see http://ift.tt/2ogXrh4.
