Coming soon to Stephen Avenue will be two new works of public art and design that embrace Calgary as a winter destination.
The City of Calgary announced that Wowie and Infinito were the winning projects for the inaugural Winter City Design Competition.
Ten teams submitted entries for consideration in the contest.
“The two winning designs will each bring something new and exciting to liven up Stephen Avenue during our coldest months,” said Kate Zago, an urban planner with the City of Calgary. Zago has been leading the competition for the City of Calgary.
“We’re really, really excited to have been chosen to be one of the winners,” said Julian Warring, a principal landscape architect with The Tula Project and part of the Wowie team.
Wowie and Infinito will be installed on Stephen Avenue in February. Each project team is being given $10,000 to realize their designs.
Wowie will be located at Centre Street, and Infinito will be located on 2 Street SW. They will remain there for the duration of the Chinook Blast festival.
