The City of Fredericton’s Public Art Program makes art accessible to everyone. Local, national, and international artists are commissioned to produce permanent and temporary art installations, creating inspiring and beautiful communal spaces. These artworks enrich the daily lives of residents and entice visitors from all over the world to visit our city.
Artists can subscribe to the Public Art Mailing List to receive notifications about future public art calls by emailing culture@fredericton.ca.
The City of Fredericton’s Temporary Public Art Program is once again accepting proposals for 2026 art displays across the community throughout the summer and into early fall. Completed proposals and questions about the program should be submitted to culture@fredericton.ca by 4:30pm on April 7th 2026.

1% for Public Art Policy
Public art contributes to a unique sense of place, creates energetic and inspiring public gathering spaces, and increases access to the visual arts. For these reasons and many more, the City commits 1% of the non-land expenditure of new municipal buildings to acquiring and installing public art.
