Murals on Underpasses - 2015
Following its first year success, four new murals will be installed on the City of Ottawa’s underpasses by the end of summer 2015. Murals will be created by artists to beautify and enhance these underpasses as key gateways to the City with images that reflect and depict local culture, history or visions of artistic expression.
Outdoor murals are effective in managing graffiti vandalism, supporting arts and culture and contributing to economic development.
Two underpass mural locations were selected for 2015s project as follows;
- 417 underpass at Bank Street
- 417 underpass at Carling Avenue
Each location will feature a mural celebrating the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation in 2017 painted by renowned local mural artist Nicole Belanger.
A Request for Qualifications is now accepting proposals until April 30, 2015 to select a local artist who will consult with the local community to design and install a community inspired mural on the opposing wall. The artwork is expected to be completed by the end of August 2015.
