THE DETAILS:
Call for Artist Proposals for the July 1st Metchosin Ocean Art Walk to create an Ocean Art Walk art project that will be experienced along the walk from Metchosin Arts and Cultural Centre (MACC) to Witty’s Lagoon on July 1st. Inclusive budget: $700.
Open Call from April 28, closing May 25. Results June 1st.
The Metchosin Ocean Art Walk brings together community, art, and ecology to honour the landscape and waters that surround us. This initiative invites engagement with the local community and environment through arts and cultural projects, featuring artist-led and self-guided walks from Metchosin Arts and Cultural Centre to the ocean. Participants will experience the Village of Metchosin, local farms, rainforests, beaches, tide pools, and expansive ocean views at Witty’s Lagoon through creative and immersive art projects.
We are seeking an artist proposal for an art project that may include, but is not limited to, performance, installation, storytelling and poetry, dance and movement, mindful forest bathing, and ecological experiences.
The $700 budget must cover all aspects of your Ocean Art Walk art project, including the artist honorarium, materials and production costs, clean-up, and a one-paragraph final report with one documentary image. Please be mindful that your project takes place in a sensitive ecosystem—stay on designated pathways, leave no trace, and pack out all materials upon completion. If needed, project development space can be booked at the Metchosin Arts and Cultural Centre Event Space; please check their website for details.
Your proposal information documented here may be used for promotional purposes, so please ensure that it is publication-ready.
