(50 Centre St. S.).

Proposals can include, but are not limited to, art exhibitions, heritage exhibitions, cultural exhibitions and community storytelling exhibitions. Up to four proposals will be selected to be displayed at Art & Culture in the Hall. Exhibitions will be on display from February 2026 to August 2026. Submissions will be accepted until 12 p.m. on Friday, October 3, 2025.

A selection committee will review submitted proposals and may consist of representatives from the City’s Cultural Leadership Council, Public Art Task Force, and/or City staff.
