The Angels are historic and moving monuments to the union of French and English communities in our area and welcome visitors to the region, as “portals to Huronia”. Quest Art is looking for artists to lead art projects revolving around the upcoming renovation of the Angel Gate in Penetanguishene. 

We are looking for 2 artists to lead projects and up to 16 volunteers to assist. 

Lead artists will have funding available of up to $2,500 for materials, which will be discussed with Quest Art and depend on the various aspects of the projects, as well as funding of up to $2,500 for their time. 

Projects are expected to engage multiple demographics through different media, reflect the history and heritage of the Angels, and focus on the symbolism of the Angel Gate and what it means to the community. 

Artists will have the opportunity to collaborate with local businesses, Town sites, and public sites. A blend of indoor and outdoor activities throughout Simcoe, but that centre primarily in and around Penetanguishene are ideal.
