Public Art is vital for supporting artists and integrating creative ideas into public life. It fosters cultural, social, and economic value, contributing to vibrant urban centres. The town's Public Art Policy guides the commissioning and procurement of artworks to enrich Okotoks' collection, ensuring regular consideration, collaboration with relevant Town Business Centres, and increasing community programs. It encourages engagement with environments, accessibility, and local vitality, bolstering the economy and nurturing creative public spaces.

Winter Whimsy Window Mural
We’re looking for a talented local or regional artist to design and paint a Winter Whimsy-themed window mural, helping to transform the Okotoks Municipal Centre into a festive and joyful space this holiday season! If you’re ready to share your creativity and brighten up our community, we’d love to hear from you.
The mural will be inspired by How the Grinch Stole Christmas and the whimsical world of Whoville — complete with curvy, colourful buildings, playful characters, and an atmosphere filled with celebration and kindness. Vibrant colours and fun, family-friendly designs are encouraged.
The selected artist will receive $4,000, inclusive of paint, materials, and installation. Work will take place November 4–8, 2025, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, with materials allowed to be stored on site. See requirements and learn more!
