Make your mark on Carnaby Park
Calling all Canadian artists! EG is looking for art in Carnaby Park (80 Alvin Pegg Drive). Are you a professional, Canadian artist? Your art could be featured in EG! The proposed artwork should explore themes that:

• Showcase or narrate a significant aspect of Canadian history, with a emphasis on national identity and remembrance.
• Reflect on Canada’s role in the Battle of Vimy Ridge, honouring the contributions and sacrifices made by Canadians.

Artists are encouraged to design a piece that is visually engaging from all perspectives and constructed using durable, weather-resistant materials, to ensure longevity in an outdoor park setting.

Submit an art piece proposal for consideration in Carnaby Park by December 30, 2025, at 3 p.m. Learn more at eastgwillimbury.ca/ArtsAndCulture.
