Deadline for submission 5:00 pm, Friday August 22, 2025
Project Description
The Cultural Resources Committee of the Municipality of Dysart et al is seeking artists to submit images of their original art work depicting nature or outdoor activity in the Haliburton Highlands. The selected images will be used to create an image wrap on one of up to four utility boxes for sewage pumping stations located within Village of Haliburton. Submissions must be in a digital format.
These highly visible enclosures are ground and/or pole mounted, metal boxes.
The artist is responsible for the artwork only. Installation will be handled by the Cultural Resources Committee. All submissions will be juried using current Public Art evaluation rubric.
Risk + Responsibility
Artists should understand that the finished work will be installed onto functioning equipment which may at some time require repair or replacement. Therefore, the Municipality of Dysart et al cannot guarantee the duration of the work’s display, nor be responsible for any damages or modifications of the artwork due to required maintenance and wear and tear.
Artists should also be aware that sewage pumping stations can be targets for vandalism. The Municipality of Dysart et al cannot guarantee that vandalized works will be repaired, restored or replaced as this is dependent on available funding. Artists must accept this risk that their artwork may be removed/replaced if damage or vandalism occurs at the Municipality's discretion.
