OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION:

OCAD University’s RBC Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers is excited to partner with Medallion Corp. to create an exclusive call-for-submissions from members of the OCAD U community.

Medallion Corp is seeking an artist or designer from whom they can license existing images of previously created works which would then be prepared for printing and installation on the temporary hoarding for a new construction development in progress at 3101 Bathurst Street in Toronto.

The selected artist will be awarded a project fee of $3,000. The recipient will be selected by Medallion Corp. based on submission guidelines. The artwork is expected to be selected based on an existing portfolio of available digital works, to be selected in late November 2025.
