Community Recreation Centre Mural - Call for Submissions

The City of North Bay, in partnership with the Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC), invites local and regional artists to submit their artwork for a painted mural at the new North Bay Community and Recreation Centre.

Quick facts

  • Artist Fee: $3500 

  • Submission deadline: Sunday, June 26, 2026

The purpose of the mural is to create an inviting and vibrant entryway that will welcome visitors to the multi-use facility.

The artwork will reflect the heart of our community and inspire a sense of pride by honouring our culture, sports, recreation and shared history. Through vibrant imagery and storytelling, the design will capture generations of movement, teamwork, recreation, and togetherness – from local traditions and outdoor life to the people, families, and activities that bring our community together.

The successful artist will be expected to hand-paint their design onto a primed feature wall.
