The Mississauga Arts Council (MAC), Peel Region, and Stantec are excited to unveil a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Lakeshore Mural Project (also known as the Lakeshore Road Artistic Hoarding Mural Project). This initiative seeks to commission four digital murals to adorn hoardings placed around various locations on Lakeshore Road in Port Credit, Mississauga. The RFP is exclusively open to professional artists based in Mississauga, aiming to offer significant artistic platforms for local talent.

“I was excited by this idea I put forward to Peel Region and the Mississauga Arts Council and they were happy to execute it,” says Ward 1 Councillor, Stephen Dasko, ”Over the next few years of construction taking place on the Lakeshore Trunk Sewer and Sub-transmission Main, we will have incredible local artists displaying their talents for everyone to enjoy!”

The digitally rendered hoarding murals will be placed in 4 locations in South Mississauga. Richard’s Memorial Park, Pine Avenue, Wesley Avenue, and 5A & 5B Front Street.

Deadline to apply for all projects is April 29, 2024.

I will be hosting a community meeting on Thursday March 21, at Clarke Hall in Port Credit at 6:30 p.m. to give the public more information on the upcoming Lakeshore Road Water Main Project. Please contact my office for more information.
