RFP: Zodiac Themed Planter Murals

 
Picture
Who Are We?


The Bloordale BIA is a Business Improvement Area that represents Bloor Street West from Dufferin  to just west of Lansdowne. We have been around since 1976 and are considered one of the oldest BIAs in the City of Toronto. Within our BIA, we are an amazing mix of service, retail, food/restaurant businesses and most of which are small independent owners. The BIA works to improve the local economy, beautify the streets and adjacent public spaces, create some marketing efforts and advocate on issues that directly impact the business community (crime, safety and even taxes!)

    • NE corner of Bloor St W/Brock

    • SE corner of Bloor St W/St Clarens
    • NW corner of Bloor St W/St Clarens
    • NW corner of Bloor St W/Emerson


  • Design Theme: 
    • Zodiac 
      • each of the 6 planters will represent 1 star sign each

  • All finalized designs become the product, property and asset of the Bloordale Village BIA with no further commissions, royalties or financial compensatio paid
  • The Bloordale Village BIA reserves the right to take photos, and to market the murals as they see fit acknowledging the work by the artist in communication 
  • A point person will be assigned to the project who will respond within 3 to 4 business days to inquiries or requests during the project
  • Must be Toronto-based

This concrete planter is perfect for flowers, vegetables that can grow in pots, and fine herbs.

In recent years, modern dwellings' wall surfaces have been coated with bricks, blocks, or visually attractive stones to create lovely looks. Wet materials should not be more than 0.3 cm thick on wall or roof surfaces. However, some surfaces have imperfections that are greater than 3cm. In this scenario, a low-cost coarse grain undercoat is utilized to render the surface, followed by a thin layer of fine grain materials for the finish coat.

In recent years, contemporary homes have seen an increase in the use of bricks, blocks, or visually appealing stones to adorn wall surfaces, resulting in stunning aesthetics. Wet materials should not exceed 0.3 cm thickness on wall or roof surfaces. However, certain surfaces may have imperfections larger than 3 cm. In such cases, a low-cost coarse grain undercoat is applied to prepare the surface, followed by a thin layer of fine-grain materials for the finishing coat.

Land Acknowledgement
The City of Toronto acknowledges that what we now call Toronto is on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The City also acknowledges that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.

African Ancestral Acknowledgement

The City of Toronto acknowledges all Treaty peoples – including those who came here as settlers – as migrants either in this generation or in generations past - and those of us who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery. We pay tribute to those ancestors of African origin and descent.
