Lamb Development Corp. Launches Public Art Project for 6th and Tenth.
(Calgary, ON – 08/2/12) Lamb Development Corp. (LDC) has partnered with Public Art Management (PAM) once again to host an exclusive open-call art competition for their first Calgary development, 6th and Tenth. After a very successful competition held for LDC’s Toronto Development, Theatre Park, LDC has decided to once again send out a call to artists for their participation. The end result is to provide a permanent and lively benefit for the emerging 6th and Tenth neighborhood.
A public notice will be sent out this summer inviting artists to submit their concepts. LDC is seeking a design concept that will reflect Calgary’s Western Canadian feel while still being able to withstand the diverse climate. Once concepts have been submitted, the narrowing down process will begin, as a jury comprised of Brad J. Lamb, President of Lamb Development Corp., Karen Mills, Founder of PAM, and a local community representative will review the submissions. The selected commissioned artist will then begin his/her work alongside an Alberta-Registered Engineer. First and second runner-ups will be recognized and will receive a nominal cash prize for their submissions.
Lamb Development Corp. would like the emerging Beltline community to have an equal part in the development concept, thus the decision to host an open call. 6th and Tenth will become an integral community hub and this process will further strengthen the city, its neighborhood and the arts.
