The Paul Mall Alley Display Project is looking to feature six new artists in 2023. The display units located in the Paul Mall Alley provide an opportunity for local and regional artists to have an ongoing public space to display and promote their artwork.
Artists selected for display will receive an artist fee of $600 for a 12-month display period (January 2023 to January 2024). In the event an extended showing is possible, the artist will receive a $50 monthly fee for each additional month the artwork is displayed. Selections will be representative of the diverse communities that represent Sault Ste. Marie. The goal is to connect artists to their community and enhance opportunities for artwork sales and commissions.
Local and regional artists are invited to submit one current portfolio work to be reproduced that represents their artistic practice. If selected, the artwork will be displayed along with their biographies and contact/web/social media details in the display units. Applications will be accepted until Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022, at 4:30 p.m.
If you are a local artist interested in participating in this project, the application is available on the city’s website.
