Scope

Town of Nanton Council has determined that there should be an exploration of the potential that the exterior of the Tom Hornecker Recreation offers the community, particularly the downtown/commercial core areas, in terms of attractive and creative imagery. The global budget for the project, including production and installation, is a maximum of $5,000.

For that purpose, a modest budget has been allocated for a project that will allow something new to be installed on a southwest section of the building wall/façade.

The project could be:

• A licensed image or piece of art that would be reproduced digitally and attached to an aluma or dibond panel installed on the building.
• Decorative metal silhouette work installed on a section or sections of wall.

Appropriate subject matters or themes could include, but are not limited to:

• Local sports achievements
• Nanton Marlins/Skate Club/Palominos
• Local historic or nostalgic imagery
• Artistic concepts
• Nanton’s 120th anniversary of incorporation as a municipality
• Local landscape or wildlife features

Potential respondents/ participants:
• Artists
• Local residents, societies/ clubs and businesses
• Local students (elementary or high school)

Vision Concept

The resulting installation is expected to:

• Engage the community at large
• Serve as a memorable and welcoming landmark
• Serve as a source of pride or interest for the community

Proposals must be submitted, quoting this RFP, via email to cao@nanton.ca by 2pm April 13, 2023.
