Calling makers, planners and creatives that think BIG.

Northcrest Developments @northcrestdev invites proposals for a high-impact festival, performance, installation, or activation on 600 metres of taxiway on the Downsview Airport Lands. The site is a blank canvas ready to be infused with creativity.

The proposed projects must be experienced or viewed from the Interim Activation Zone. They must be experienced from the outdoor areas, however, proposals can include the exterior of hangar buildings. Projects can utilize as much or as little of the Interim Activation Zone as they require. This total maximum space represents up to 290,000 square feet, which can support up to 50,000 people.

This is a two-stage process. In Stage One, a panel of seven local and city-wide arts and culture experts will review the submissions and select a shortlist of up to ten applications. In Stage Two, a shortlist of applicants will be invited to more fully develop their proposals and attend an interview. Shortlisted applicants will be given a $500 honorarium to prepare for and attend the interview.
