New Transit Shelter Art Installations

Press Release

May 15, 2026

The City of Prince Albert is proud to announce the installation of four new transit shelter art designs, created through the City’s Municipal Cultural Action Plan. These vibrant works, designed by Indigenous artists, enhance public spaces while celebrating culture, community, and connection.

A Call for Indigenous Artists, issued in Fall 2025, drew 21 submissions from 10 artists. Following a selection process, four designs were chosen to reflect the unique identities of their locations. Installation of the artwork was completed this week with the arrival of warmer weather.

Transit Shelter Installations:

• 15th Street East (in front of Saskatchewan Polytechnic)
  Artist: Cheyenne Longman
  Design: River of Reflection
• Carlton High School (6th Avenue East)
  Artist: Alex Powalinsky
  Design: Convergence
• 2nd Avenue and 34th Street West
  Artist: Ailah Carpenter
  Design: More than a Wish
• 15th Street East (in front of RBC)
  Artist: Josh Wapiskisiw
  Design: Building Relationship

“These designs reflect Indigenous culture and pride and were so thoughtfully created by the artists for each location,” said Judy MacLeod Campbell, Arts & Culture Manager for the City of Prince Albert. “The art not only enhances the transit user experience, but also contributes to the respect, pride, and beautification of our city through meaningful public art and the importance of relationships and community connection.”

This initiative was a collaborative effort involving the City’s Public Art Working Group, the Community Safety & Wellbeing staff within the Community Development Department, local artists, and contractors.

Funding for the project was provided by the City of Prince Albert through the Municipal Cultural Action Plan, with additional support from SaskCulture, funded by the Sask Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture, and Recreation.
