Call for Expressions of Interest: Northeast LRT Extension Public Art Opportunity
Calgary Arts Development (CADA) is issuing a Call for Expressions of Interest for professional artists/artist teams to join the design team for the proposed Blue Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) Northeast Extension station plaza at 60th Street and 88th Avenue NE.
Currently, this call is for envisioning and creating a public artwork concept as an embedded member of the design team. The station plaza is not yet designed, and the selected artist will participate in the process from the beginning. This will be a collaborative effort with the artist leading with their vision and working with the team towards the creation of a feasible design. This process is slated to take place throughout 2026.
This opportunity is open to local, national and international professional artists/artist teams working in various media. The deadline to apply is November 19, 2025.
