Call for Mural Artists

Momentum in Motion

Deadline: August 1, 2025 

Strathcona County is seeking artist proposals for a unique mural project that reflects the themes of momentum, movement and collective energy. This commission offers an opportunity to contribute vibrant, meaningful art to an indoor recreational space in Sherwood Park. We welcome submissions from Alberta-based artists or artist teams working in mural painting, visual storytelling, or community-engaged practice.  

Location: Interior Gym Walls, Millennium Place, 2000 Premier Way, Sherwood Park, AB, T8H 2G4 

Budget: $25,000 (inclusive of artist fees, materials, and supplies) 

Support: On-site scissor lift provided/after-hours access (when the building is closed to public) 

Timeline: Installation Fall 2025   

This large-scale interior mural will energize a bustling gymnasium used by youth and families. Thematic direction focuses on momentum, abstractly expressing movement, vitality, and transformation through bold, expressive visual language. 

The mural should include: 

  • Bright, uplifting colours
  • Flowing forms and gestural lines
  • Non-literal depictions of physical and emotional motion
  • A contemporary, playful, youth-oriented tone

Like a Rolling Stone - Habitat

Like a Rolling Stone - Habitat is an immersive exhibit that explores the important relationship between land, wildlife, and humans. Heike Fink uses traditional and modern felting techniques to create sculptures, wall hangings and installations that reflect stories of endangered species, habitat loss and land stewardship. Visitors will encounter prairie animals, birds, birch trees, landscapes, and an incredible installation of a winding stream with 3,000 rocks, each made of wool. Visitors can interact with the rocks by moving them within the habitat, inspiring them to consider the delicate balance between humans and nature.  

This exhibition also features a resource area with opportunities for further learning and hands-on engagement with exhibit themes. The public is invited to join the exhibiting artist for an artist talk at a special reception on Thursday, August 7 at 6:30 pm at Gallery@501. This event and admission to the gallery are free.
