Call for Expressions of Interest: Temporary Public Art Commission at The Bentway

Temporary Public Art Commission at The Bentway: 

The Bentway Conservancy is pleased to announce a Call for Expressions of Interest for the return of its Transform the Trail program, which seeks an artistic collaborator to respond to both the Bentway site and our relationships to the winter season.

This program supports a new, temporary commission that animates The Bentway’s iconic figure-eight ice-skating trail and its surrounding footprint beneath the Gardiner Expressway. The goals of the commission are to encourage artistic experimentation in the public realm, celebrate the unique creative potential of a Toronto winter, enhance the ice-skating experience at The Bentway, and foster meaningful connections during the coldest months of the year.

The Bentway invites Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) artists, designers, and collectives to submit an expression of interest for a temporary public art project to be exhibited at the Bentway skate trail from December 2026 – February 2027.
