Call for Indigenous Arts for Transit Shelter

Art Designs Celebrating Our Culture and Community Pride

The City of Prince Albert is thrilled to announce the launch of a Call for Indigenous Arts for Transit Shelter Art Designs, inviting Indigenous visual artists to submit original artwork that celebrates the spirit of our community.

This exciting new initiative, led by the City’s Arts & Culture Division with the Community Development Department and in alignment with the Municipal Cultural Action Plan, aims to highlight and celebrate the Indigenous peoples of Prince Albert—their identity, culture, and creativity. The Transit Shelter Art will enhance the transit experience with bright, welcoming, and meaningful artwork, contributing to a sense of community pride and belonging.

“We’re looking for designs that reflect Indigenous culture and pride and continue to beautify our city,” says Judy MacLeod Campbell, Arts & Culture Manager. “The transit shelters have been the target of vandalism over the last several years, and our belief is that adding art—grounded in Indigenous culture and history—will create a welcoming and positive environment that contributes to reconciliation, pride, and community belonging.”

Three designs will be selected in this first phase of the project (two for metal designs/shelter backs and one vinyl wrap shelter back), with the potential for additional selections in future phases. Each selected artist/artwork will receive a $1,000 honorarium.
