Public Art Competition for the New Installation at CPE Roc-Amadour

Quebec City, July 2, 2025 – The City of Quebec is inviting professional artists to submit a proposal for a public artwork to be featured in the second facility of the Centre de la petite enfance (CPE) Roc-Amadour, called La Maison d’Albert. This facility will be located in the heart of the Lairet neighborhood, within the borough of La Cité-Limoilou.

The artwork should integrate with the architectural concept and mission of the CPE, an urban childcare center focused on nature and serving a multiethnic community. It should be primarily intended for children aged 0 to 5, in a context of learning and socialization.

Additionally, the artwork should be stimulating and offer multiple levels of interpretation that are accessible to young children. Finally, it should have universal appeal to resonate with all cultures.

The selected artwork will be integrated into a section of the exterior wall along the sidewalk leading to the main entrance of La Maison d’Albert.
