Calling all local BIPOC & Queer Artists!
June 14, 2025
The CEC is looking to hire a BIPOC and/or queer artist to beautify the exterior fencing of the demonstration site, design and paint an image on a picnic tabletop, and a design and paint a road surface mural near the entrance to the demonstration site. In alignment with our goal of community building, the project includes community consultation and an engagement with volunteers on all three of the project components. The ultimate goal of this project is to create a warm, welcoming, approachable environment for all City residents to come and spend time relaxing in the CEC demonstration gardens or to learn about hands-on regenerative soil practices.
This project will be funded by the City of Victoria’s My Great Neighbourhood Grant and an artist fee of approximately $4225 is available, materials are separate and will also be covered by the grant.
Please see the artist package through the link in our bio to learn how to apply. We invite you to visit our site at 1216 North Park St. and our website (www.compost.bc.ca) to get a feel for the space and where the artwork will be going. Feel free to contact Kayla with any questions you have, ksiefried@compost.bc.ca or 250-386-9676
Deadline for submissions is July 1 at 11:59pm.
