The City's public art program commissions professional artists to create visual art for public spaces.
To celebrate Mississauga's 50th anniversary, the public art program is commissioning a new large-scale mural on the concert tower of the Living Arts Centre. The mural will thank and acknowledge the Anishinaabe peoples who came to be known as the Mississaugas of the Credit for our city's name. It will also honour 50+ years of Mississauga's history and celebrate our city's exciting future.
The public art program invited professional artists and artist teams to submit credentials and expressions of interest through an open competition. Submissions were evaluated by an arms-length art selection committee, and three artists and artist teams were selected to develop a proposal for the mural.
Your input matters
We're inviting Mississauga residents to participate in each artist's proposal development. In these videos, the artists introduce themselves and their artistic practice and ask residents questions of their choice.
We encourage you to share your answers to their questions so we can all collaboratively envision a mural that speaks to the unique characteristics and communities of Mississauga.
