City of Brantford issues Call for Artists for Traffic Cabinet Wraps

BRANTFORD, ON – The City of Brantford is seeking five artists to create original artwork that will be used to wrap traffic cabinets across the community this summer.

This project builds on the City’s existing traffic cabinet wrap program and aims to both deter graffiti and add vibrant, creative touches to public spaces. Expanding this initiative will help curb instances of graffiti on City-owned traffic cabinets while further beautifying the City and celebrate the talent of local artists.

The commissioned artists will be selected through an open, one-stage process. The selected artists will each receive $1,000.00 (exclusive of HST) which includes all costs directly associated with the artwork including artist fees, design time, materials, and other professional services. This call is open to all artists in Ontario; however, preference may be given to regional artists from City of Brantford, County of Brant, Six Nations of the Grand River, or Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation based on application numbers, artist skill, and ability to meet the call requirements. Art installation, which will be done by the City of Brantford, is scheduled for summer 2025.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, May 30, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. Questions about the Artist Call may be directed to culture@brantford.ca. To learn more about the project, visit www.Brantford.ca/TrafficWraps.
