The Town of Riverview invites local artists to submit their application for consideration in the 2023 Art Procurement Program (APP) before June 9, 2023. The citizen-led APP jury will select and purchase artwork on the Town’s behalf to add to the Town’s art collection.

If you are considering submitting artwork, please review the APP Policy to ensure you have met the requirements prior to making your submission. A completed APP Application Form must be attached to any artwork submitted for consideration.

Eligibility

To apply, artists must be a Riverview resident for at least twelve consecutive months. Artist eligibility is not reliant on an artist’s professional status but rather on the artwork. No work by any member of the APP jury or their immediate family will be considered for purchase.

Art acquisition

The Town of Riverview will purchase artwork from the works submitted for this call. The artwork must be deemed appropriate for the Town’s art collection based on the selection criteria established by the APP policy. The artwork will be displayed in Riverview Town Hall’s Council Chambers for up to two years following acquisition and then may be relocated to another Town-owned public building.

Submissions

Each artist may submit one piece of work. Artwork must be original and be suitably framed and ready to hang. Art that is not accompanied by the APP application form will not be considered.

Artwork drop-off and pick-up

Artwork must be dropped off to the Riverview Public Library on Thursday, June 22, between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Submissions will not be accepted after this date and time. The artist is responsible for unpacking their artwork and taking their packaging with them. Subsequently, the artist is responsible for re-wrapping upon pick-up, Thursday, July 27, 2023 between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. The Town of Riverview is not responsible for any artwork not picked up at this time.

Acceptance

Artists whose artwork is selected for purchase by the Art Procurement Committee will be notified by telephone by June 27, 2023.

Artwork pick-up

Artwork must be picked up on Thursday, June 27 between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. at the Riverview Public Library. The Town of Riverview is not responsible for any artwork not picked up at this time.
