The Barrie Public Art Committee, in partnership with Barrie Transit, is creating a public art installation that will illuminate and enhance the user experience on Barrie Transit. Inspired by an original poem written by Barrie’s Poet Laureate, Tyneisha Thomas, visual artists will create unique images that celebrate Barrie’s diverse community. Five final designs will be selected and installed on 10 Barrie Transit bus shelters in each ward.
Selected artists will be compensated for their digital designs. All costs associated with production and installation will be covered by the City. Artwork will be installed late September.
Proposals must be submitted by July 19, 2023. View details at barrie.ca/PublicArt
