OWEN SOUND ARTS AWARDS

June 17, 2008

The City of Owen Sound is pleased to announce the first stage of Owen Sound’s new Arts Awards, to be held in the spring of 2009. The journey begins with a call to local artists to design an original work that can be reproduced as an award.
Design proponents are invited to contact the Community Services Department for a copy of the Request for Submissions. Call (519) 376-4440 ext. 256 or email pbryant@e-owensound.com. The Request for Submissions can also be downloaded from the City’s website at e-owensound.com/communityservices. The deadline to submit initial design concepts by is September 19, 2008.
The initial submissions will be adjudicated by a community jury, which will select three proponents to develop full design proposals and cost quotations. Selected proponents will be able to take up to two months to complete their proposal, following which the three concepts will be publicly displayed and a winning design chosen from amongst the three, to become the basis of the Owen Sound Arts Awards.
The Arts Awards are an initiative of the Cultural Advisory Committee, a standing committee of Owen Sound City Council. Its members include two City councilors, representatives of local cultural institutions, and community volunteers. The Awards are a high-priority action item from Owen Sound’s recently approved Cultural Master Plan.
