Applications open for city’s public art stimulus fund
In an effort to support new public art in Prince Albert, the city has put the call out for applications for its incentive program.
The Public Art Stimulus Fund provides up to $2,000 in matching funds to support one to two public art partnerships per year. This is the second year for the program.
According to Judy MacLeod Campbell, the city’s arts and cultural coordinator, the initiative “is a way to create more art in the community and more art opportunities for local artists.”
“I think it really adds to the aesthetics of the community and the community pride,” she said. “It is a drawing card for tourists, and locally, for pride. It is a nice thing to be able to discuss and talk about and interact with.”
