Watershed+ has released it’s first international call for an artist residency in Calgary, Canada.
The selected artists will broadly explore issues relevant to Calgary’s watershed, water management and the Ralph Klein Park (RKP) environment.
The residency will provide artists wishing to research, experiment and produce new work in relation to these issues, with time, space and resources in a unique context.
This opportunity is open to local, national and international artists of all disciplines.
You can view the call at:

This visual blog presents images and projects related to the WATERSHED+ art program.
WATERSHED+ is a public art program hosted by City of Calgary's department of Utilities and Environment Protection.
WATERSHED+ aims to develop awareness and pleasure in the environment, not by changing water management practice, nor developing a uniform visual language, but rather by creating a climate of opportunity for water initiatives to build an emotional connection between people and the watershed.
WATERSHED+ presents a unique approach to public art by embedding artists and artistic practices within UEP core activities, participating as members on infrastructure design teams, contributing to project design, development of events, community education, etc.

This program was devised by Sans façon (Charles Blanc & Tristan Surtees) with a team composed of Matt Baker, Emlyn Firth, Yan Olivares of Yes Architectes, Eric Laurier and Bert van Duin.
