The City of Mississauga’s Public Art Program seeks to commission an emerging artist, artist team, or illustrator to create original banner artwork.
The commissioned artist(s) will receive $10,000 CAD + HST to create six digital artwork files, which will be printed on vinyl banners.
Banner artwork will be displayed on light pole standards throughout the city, creating a captivating and uplifting visual presence from summer 2026 to early 2027.
The City will work directly with a contractor to fabricate and install the banners. Directly overseeing and managing this contract are not included in the commissioned artist(s)’ scope of work or budget, although the commissioned artist(s) will have the opportunity to shadow City staff to gain knowledge in contracting public art fabricators.
Submissions
Submissions will be accepted until March 9, 2026, at 11:59 pm EST.
