WINDOW MURAL SERIES 

Celebrating local creativity. Transforming storefronts into vibrant canvases.

ACCENT is back for 2025! This series features an array of window wraps adorning the downtown core in some unlikely spaces. We are highlighting local community members and their artwork by utilizing windows and storefronts that are currently empty or under construction. We aim to brighten our walking spaces and provide more reasons for everyone to explore downtown. 


Key Dates

Call for Artists Opens: April 9, 2025
Submission Deadline: April 30, 2025
Selections Announced: May 7, 2025
Installation Week: Starting May 19, 2025
(The 2024 Accent Series will remain on display until installation of the 2025 series)


How to Apply

Artists of any age and at any stage in their career may submit up to three (3) images of original work for review.

Final window locations and sizing are still being finalized, so we recommend submitting artwork in varied size ratios to allow for flexible placement.

Initial submissions can be low-resolution for review purposes, but selected artists must be able to provide high-resolution files suitable for large-format printing.

We welcome diverse perspectives, styles, and mediums. If your work can be printed and displayed in a window, it’s eligible!

This program is not just about beautifying our streets; it’s about weaving art into the fabric of our daily lives, making Downtown Moncton a must-visit destination that resonates with creativity and innovation for locals and visitors alike. 

The name Accent! perfectly captures the essence of the project. In both English and French, the word accent signifies highlighting with a distinctive emphasis. Just as accents in language highlight and give character to speech, the murals and artworks in this series will add a creative spark to our downtown area.
