Applicant Terms of Agreement

Applicant Agreement*

I/we have read, understood and will comply with the guidelines outlined in The WALL Call for Proposals.

Criteria used by the selection committee to assess the call for proposals may include but are not limited to:
- Quality of past work
- Rigor of research as evident in past work
- Clarity of goals and objectives
- Compatibility with the mission of VHF and the theme of Vancouver’s history, heritage and built environment.

The selected artist will enter into a contract with the City of Vancouver (COV) and Vancouver Heritage Foundation (VHF). The selected artist/curator will have 8 - 12 weeks to complete the project and will agree on deadlines for the submission of the preliminary concept, detailed design and the final artwork ready for printing and installation.

The selected artist/curator will receive a project fee of $6,000 for the research and development of the exhibit, including overseeing the proofing of the work with the printer and providing quality documentation. Artists and curators are encouraged to seek additional sources of funding to augment this fee if needed. Vancouver Heritage Foundation is responsible for the production, installation and deinstallation of the exhibit and related costs.

Copyright of commissioned works belongs to the artist. However, the artist will grant license to VHF, COV and CBC to use images and documentation of the artwork without paying reproduction fees for the purposes of promotion of The WALL initiative, including use of images on websites, Facebook, YouTube and all publicity and interpretive material including future publication. Upon de-installation the final print is owned by Vancouver Heritage Foundation unless otherwise negotiated by the artist prior to installation.
