Call for Submissions – Explore Art NL, 2023 Art Car

Public Artwork Opportunity

How would you like to see your art on the move?

Business & Arts NL has teamed up with MINI St. John’s to offer an exciting opportunity!

Call for submissions

Are you an illustrator, graphic designer and/or a visual artist with a strong graphic aesthetic? We’re looking for you to produce scalable digital art that will be printed on vinyl and wrapped around a white, 2023 MINI Countryman. Your art will be seen by thousands throughout the City of St. John’s and surrounding areas, and on social media!

This is the second Art Car collaboration – check out the Genesis GV 80 Art Car designed by Vanessa Iddon in 2021.

Interested? Please submit: 

  • 3 images of your work

  • A description of your proposed vision for the car – we welcome submissions of new or previously created work (250 words max)

  • A 200-word bio

  • A link to your website or portfolio

We are looking for a design that is colourful and bold. Check out our FAQ below for more information.

The selected artist will be invited to design an Art Car to help spread the word about Business and Arts NL’s Explore Art NL public art app. The back window design (provided by Business and Arts) will include messaging about the app. 

Our mission is simple: We want to use the MINI Countryman as a canvas to create a work of public art and showcase as much creativity as possible.

What’s In It For You:

  • An artist fee of $2,000

  • An artist credit printed on the vehicle itself

  • You and your work will also be featured on our website, social media and through our marketing initiatives.

Timeline:

  • Submission deadline: Thursday, April 13 by 11:59  pm

  • The successful candidate will be contacted by April 21.

  • Artist files for the final design will be completed by May 25th.

  • The car will be wrapped and hitting the streets by mid-June!

This project is made possible with the generous support of MINI St. John’s.
