Public Opinion Survey Now Open
4 Artists and Artist-Led Teams have been selected to develop detailed proposals. The public are invited to review, comment and indicated their preferred selection. The survey will close July 7, 2024.
The City of Hamilton and STEPS Public Art are currently undertaking a process to commission a permanent public artwork to be placed along the Pipeline Trail south of Cannon Street East between Crosthwaite and Garside Avenue North, in the grass area just south of the Pipeline Trail multi-use.
Artwork Selection
Selected work(s) will be functional in nature, serving one or all of the following purposes; seating, shade and wayfinding. Citizen-identified themes for this project are water innovation and infrastructure.
The artwork will be chosen by a Selection Panel composed of residents and arts professionals through a two-stage process.
- Stage 1 (current stage) asks for expressions of interest and qualifications
- Stage 2 requires shortlisted artists to submit a detailed proposal.
Next Steps
- The Selection Panel will review public comments and select a winning proposal in Summer 2024
- The successful Artist / Artist Team will fabricate the artwork(s).
- Installation and a public celebration is anticipated for Spring 2025
