*REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST for PUBLIC ART PROJECT:*

*Cardington Apartments*

The John Howard Society with support from BC Housing and the Public Art 
Committee of the City of Kelowna is seeking Expressions of Interest from 
artists of all disciplines to design, fabricate and install one or more 
public art features in a 30-unit supportive housing development known as 
‘Cardington Apartments’ to be built at 1436 St. Paul Street in downtown 
Kelowna.

One artist, or a team of artists, will receive a commission to create a 
permanent art installation which provides an artistic expression of the 
theme ‘Icons of Inspiration.’ The public art will enhance not only the 
aesthetic and public appeal of the building, but will also promote a 
sense of motivation, pride and belonging for the residents.

The total budget for the public art project is a maximum of $30,000.00. 
Expressions of Interest must be submitted in a prescribed format by 4:00 
pm (Pacific), Friday, July 20, 2007 to Jim Meiklejohn, Meiklejohn 
Architects Inc., 233 Bernard Avenue, Kelowna, BC V1Y 6N2. Submissions 
will not be accepted by email.

Artists are encouraged to review the Call for Expressions of Interest
