The City of Calgary Public Art Program offers a variety of opportunities for local, national and international artists, from emerging to established professionals, as well as numerous ways to stay informed and in touch.
As per the Canada Council for the Arts, we define a professional artist as someone who:
- has specialized training in visual art (not necessarily in academic institutions) and has produced an independent body of work;
- is recognized as such by his or her peers (artists working in the same artistic discipline) and has maintained an independent professional practice for at least three years;
- is committed to devoting more time to artistic activity, if possible financially, and has had at least three public exhibitions of work in a professional context over a three year period.
Be sure to read each Call to Artists carefully for eligibility criteria and submission requirements.
