Artist calls
152 St Bridge at Nicomekl
The City of Surrey is inviting expressions of interest for a new public artwork on the 152 Street Bridge crossing the Nicomekl River.
The selected artist will create a series of 12 powder-coated steel panels affixed to the bridge railing, which separates the roadway from a new multi-use path. The artwork will be visible to both drivers and pedestrians.
Artists are encouraged to explore themes inspired by the Nicomekl River—its ecological richness, cultural significance, and role as a vital connector of people, species, and communities. Once heavily wooded and teeming with wildlife, the river continues to serve as a dynamic, life-supporting waterway.
Submission Deadline:
June 9, 2025
Design Fee: $7,500
Utility Box Wraps
The City of Surrey invites expressions of interest for artwork designs to wrap utility boxes along the new Surrey-Langley SkyTrain corridor (Fraser Highway from Whalley Boulevard to 196 Street).
Three artists will be commissioned to design a total of 27 utility boxes located in Whalley, Fleetwood, and Clayton. Each artist will be assigned one neighbourhood and will create unique artwork inspired by that community.
The selected designs will be digitally printed and installed, contributing to the identity of each neighbourhood and enhancing the streetscape through placemaking.
Submission Deadline:
June 9, 2025
Artist Fees:
Whalley: $6,000
Fleetwood: $16,500
Clayton: $7,500
