Sign of the Times
Billboard Project Open Call for Submissions
Co-presented by AKA Artist-Run and PAVED Arts
This call is open to any practising artist or artist collective living and working in Saskatchewan. “Sign of the times” can be interpreted as playing on the billboard as an object– given that it is a large “sign,” or simply as any content related to our contemporary moment, our “times.” We are open to any and all interpretations. The work can be in any media but should be delivered (and reproduced) as a digital file following the dimensions 65 inches wide by 18.61 inches high at 300 dpi or by downloading the Billboard template available here: https://www.pavedarts.ca/wp_cms/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Billboard-Template-Final.pdf
A $1000.00 artist fee will be paid and all printing and installation costs will be covered by AKA Artist-Run and PAVED Arts.
The term of the billboard will run from June 20 to August 22, 2025. AKA Artist-Run and PAVED Arts will host an informal street-side reception for the successful project on Friday, June 20, Cinq à sept (5–7 pm).

Interested artists or collectives should submit a brief written proposal (maximum 300 words) and up to 5 jpeg images as support material.
Submission Deadline: Tuesday, May 27 by 6 pm CST.
