Call for Artist Submissions
Waterfront Community Art Walk – Carbon Engineering Innovation Centre
Deadline: September 12, 2025
Carbon Engineering (CE) invites local artists to help transform the public walkway along the estuary near our Innovation Centre in the Squamish Oceanfront area. This high-traffic path, frequented by cyclists, walkers, and nature lovers, runs alongside the CE perimeter fencing. At CE our team is developing innovative technology to pull carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly from the atmosphere.
We’re seeking vibrant, digital artworks that reflect the beauty, energy, and biodiversity of our surrounding environment – pieces that will engage the community and enhance their connection to this space. Selected works will be printed and installed on weather-protected aluminum composite panels along the fence, turning an industrial edge into an inspiring outdoor gallery.
Project Details:
- Number of Commissions: 4 individual artworks (each selected through a separate call).
- Artwork Specs: High-resolution digital files suitable for printing at approximately 4 ft (h) x 8 ft (w).
- Medium: Digital art (any style or medium that can be submitted as a high-res digital file).
- Theme: Regional natural environment (e.g. estuary, mountains, ocean, native flora/fauna, climate action, etc.).
- Artist Fee: Commission budget offered per selected artwork (to be outlined in individual calls).
- Additional Costs: CE will cover project administration, printing, materials, installation, and maintenance separately from the artist fee.
