STEPS Public Art and the Town of Whitby invite Ontario-based professional artists (including artist teams) to submit their Request for Qualifications to the first stage of a competition for public artwork(s) that will be installed at one (1) of two (2) locations within the Town of Whitby. Canadian artists who are from Ontario or have a connection to Ontario are encouraged to apply.

The sculptures will be selected through an open, two-stage competition, with a total budget of approximately $50,000 CAD (HST inclusive) per artwork.
