The city of Oshawa has opened a call for artists to submit artworks for a temporary exhibition at the Convergence Music and Art Festival, taking place September 19–20 at Veterans Square. Up to five artists will be selected to have a reproduction of their work displayed, with submissions due by June 12. The exhibition celebrates the installation of Oshawa’s first independent sculpture commission, Kaleidoscope by Nicholas Crombach, under the theme “We Gather, We Remember, We Belong.”
This matters because it highlights Oshawa’s investment in public art and local talent, using a festival platform to engage the community and mark a milestone—the city’s first independent sculpture commission. It also provides emerging and established artists with visibility and a chance to contribute to a civic cultural event, reinforcing the role of temporary exhibitions in placemaking and community identity.
