Mentorship Opportunity: Call for Expressions of Interest
Public Art Mosaic Mentorship
The City of Lethbridge Public Art Program is seeking a Lethbridge and area artist, with experience in community-based art, for an exciting mentorship opportunity. Artists are invited to submit an Expression of Interest for this opportunity in response to this call.
Background
The City of Lethbridge has recently contracted ceramic artist Susan Day from London, Ontario to complete a handmade tile mosaic mural on the Legacy Park picnic shelter located in Legacy Park on the north side of Lethbridge. As part of this project, Susan will also mentor a local emerging artist. The paid mentorship will provide an artist with an introduction to the mosaic process and provide them with skills to work independently on future projects.
Susan will be installing an innovative and inventive mosaic mural entitled “The New Nature” (see proposal photos below.) The mosaic will be comprised of thousands of handmade tiles as well as mirrored tile pieces, creating a compelling and engaging entrance to Legacy Park.
