Call to Artists

The City of Peterborough’s Call to Artists page is the official source for current public art, creative, and cultural opportunities administered by Recreation, Parks and Cultural Services Division. This page is regularly updated to reflect active calls, including opportunities for artists, designers, and community members to participate in public art projects and selection processes across the city.

Opportunities will be listed on this page, with new calls added as they become available. Each listing will include eligibility details, timelines, and application requirements.

There are currently no openings available. Please check back!

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Peterborough’s public spaces, cultural initiatives, and creative community.

Land Acknowledgment

We respectfully acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional and treaty territories of the Williams Treaties First Nations, which include the Anishinaabeg peoples of Hiawatha, Curve Lake, Alderville, Beausoleil, Georgina Island, Rama, and the Mississaugas of Scugog Island.

For thousands of years, the Michi Saagiig Anishinaabeg have lived in reciprocity with these lands, guided by traditional knowledge, ceremony, and responsibility. These Nations continue to uphold their responsibilities as stewards of the lands, waters, and caretakers of knowledge.

We also acknowledge the lasting impact of those treaties, including the injustices they entailed and the continued strength, resilience, and resurgence of Indigenous communities today. As we live, work, and gather here, we are called to reflect and act on our responsibilities in the spirit of reconciliation, respect, and partnership.
