A call has gone out to area artists to design a digital collage that will be installed in the downtown area.
Artists are encouraged to use historic images of North Bay to showcase local culture, traditions and histories that build the story of our community.
"This call is looking for a digital collage design that layers together photographs and digital elements from various sources into a new piece of modern street art that brings new, positive perspectives to our community," says spokesman Marcus Tignanelli.
Historical images of North Bay may be sourced on your own or downloaded HERE, courtesy of the North Bay Museum.
The selected artist will be paid an honorarium of $450, with the successful design scaled and printed as a large public mural.
"At this time there are several building owners who have graciously offered the walls of their buildings as potential installation sites," says Tignanelli. "In consultation with the winning design and building owners, the final location will be selected."
The project has been made possible by TakingITGlobal Rising Youth; which provides youth-led community service grants.
Recently more than a dozen traffic signal boxes were transformed into works of art as signal boxes were wrapped in digitally-printed vinyl designs by local artists.
It's part of a public art project led by Downtown North Bay in partnership with the City of North Bay’s Public Art Advisory Committee,
