Guelph Museums is inviting artists, historians, and creative groups to submit proposals to participate in a new event to celebrate Founders’ Day.
Guelph 190: History@Night Party will celebrate Guelph’s 190th birthday with history and art activations in downtown Guelph from 9 p.m. on Apr. 22 to 1 a.m. on Apr. 23, says a press release.
The museum is “breaking down” the museum walls, extending activities and installations to the streets of Guelph for a free event aimed at creating opportunities to connect, explore and engage with history in unique ways, the release said.
Historians and artists are encouraged to participate by providing exhibitions, demonstrations and activities that explore Guelph’s history and identity through themes of reconciliation, immigration, landscape, culture, and innovation.
Preference will be given to residents of the City of Guelph and Wellington County. A jury, formed by Guelph Museums, will select the featured installations.
The deadline for applications is Mar. 19.
Submission details and application forms are available at guelphmuseums.ca.
