Art on the Trail
Application Form for Artist Stipend
Join us in creating a unique outdoor art experience at Lake Minnewesta! The "Arts on the Trail" project combines artistic expression with nature-based wellness, offering the community accessible opportunities for physical activity, mental reflection, and emotional healing through strategically placed interactive art installations.
We are accepting applications from artists and art groups who want to be part of this exciting project by installing their artworks along the arts trail. Your contribution will help create a memorable and healthy arts experience for visitors, encouraging mindful exploration and personal transformation as they walk the scenic trails around the lake.
Please note that the materials used for the artwork/installations should be natural. It is important the proposals demonstrate that the proposed project will be complementary to the parks natural/aesthetic setting.
* Each selected artist will be granted an artwork & installation stipend of $400 to install its artwork on the lake. Artists are responsible for transporting their artworks to the trail site, the installation and maintenance of the artwork for the duration of the display time, and the removal of the artwork due to despair or a committee decision. If the artists cannot be reached after two attempts via email or phone, the artwork becomes the property of the City of Morden & the Pembina Hills Arts Council.
