Burlington Launches Call for Artists: Create Mural Honoring Robert Bateman
The City of Burlington has launched a Call for Artists, seeking expressions of interest for a community mural project at the upcoming Robert Bateman Community Centre. The deadline for submissions is Monday, September 8, 2025.
The multi-purpose centre, set to open on September 15th, will house various tenants such as Brock University, Burlington Public Library, Halton District School Board, Tech Place, and the City of Burlington.

The chosen artist will play a significant role in enhancing the new community centre's aesthetic and fostering a connection to local wildlife and artistic heritage.
