CITY OF CALGARY
UTILITIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DEPARTMENT
Via Partnership worked with the City of Calgary Public Art Program to develop a public art plan for their Utilities and Environmental Protection Department (UEP). Working in partnership with artist Cliff Garten and urban planner Mark Crisp from CH2MHill Canada Ltd., the Via Team proposed to focus the UEP public art dollars to develop a world-class collection of public art throughout the metropolitan area that highlights the unique relationship between Calgary and the Bow River watershed. This public art plan, completed in January 2007, is the first of its kind to focus on an ecological system as the nexus for commissioning public art and will potentially become a model for partnering with utilities departments in the commissioning of artwork that forwards the mission of both the utilities department and the public art program.
A pdf of the plan can be downloaded at www.calgary.ca/publicart under artist opportunities.
