The Municipal Public Art Program

Public Art Wood Buffalo’s mandate is to strengthen community identity and sense of place through the creation and development of public art within the region. A framework for funding and administering the program was created with Public Art Policy (PRC-170). This policy also supported the initiation of the council appointed Public Art Committee who advise on the development and delivery of program elements. In May 2021, Council adopted the Wood Buffalo Public Art Plan which supports a strategic process of further developing public art within the region.

Photo Gallery: Culture Heritage and Public Art will appear here on the public site.

Public Art Collection

There are many individuals, organizations and institutions who have contributed to the cultural fabric of the region through the delivery of public art.

Public Art Wood Buffalo has produced a plethora of temporary projects including murals, events, and locally focused programming. The Wood Buffalo Public Art Plan further outlines a vision for strengthening the permanent collection.

An online map of Arts, Culture and Heritage sites is currently under development.

Local Artist Roster

The Public Art Program at the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo is developing an artist roster. Please sign up to receive emails about opportunities such as calls to artists, and information sessions.

Selection Panel Participation Roster

The selection panel roster will serve as a resource to build a database that will support the creation of a public art selection panel on an as needed basis for each project. The Public Art Wood Buffalo program is seeking individuals who have interest in public art and who would like to support evaluation of project submissions. Submit an application to be considered to be a member of a public art selection panel.
