City of Brantford seeks input on Public Art for Jubilee Terrace Park

BRANTFORD, ON – The City of Brantford is seeking input on a new public art piece for Jubilee Terrace Park that will honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served, and continue to serve, Canada during times of war, military conflict, and peace.

Following an Artist Call issued earlier this year, four artists were shortlisted to develop proposals for a new public art piece that will be installed in Jubilee Terrace Park, located at 10 Brant Avenue. Residents are now invited to review the proposed designs and provide feedback at LetsTalkBrantford.ca/JubileeTerracePark before Friday, July 24, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.

The successful artist will be determined through a combination of scoring criteria and deliberation by a selection panel that is comprised of community members and practicing arts professionals. Artwork fabrication is scheduled to begin in Fall 2026, with installation expected to be completed by Summer 2027.

A local emerging artist residing in Brantford, the County of Brant, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, or Six Nations of the Grand River will be selected by the City of Brantford, with input from the selected artist, to serve as an assistant during the fabrication and installation phases of the project. The artist will receive a paid honorarium of $1,000 for their participation. This program will require a commitment of two to four hours per month and up to one week for on-site work during the installation period next year, sometime in early to mid-2027. The hours and structure of the mentorship program may fluctuate based on the stage of the fabrication process and design. Those interested in applying for this mentorship opportunity can visit Brantford.ca/ArtistMentorship. Applications are due Friday, July 24, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.
