The Woodstock Art Gallery will have a new look and a new logo for November 2021.
The gallery is launching a rebranding campaign that is open to graphic design professionals across the country.
Mary Reid, the director and curator of Oxford County’s largest municipal public gallery, said the rebranding will help position the organization for the future.
“For more than five decades, the Woodstock Art Gallery has enriched our city and region by inspiring participation in the visual arts. It is important that we continue to reflect our critical role in the community as we carry out our mission to provide opportunities for people to express, experience and learn creatively through art.”
Interested graphic designers are asked to respond to the request for proposals by submitting an expression of interest or resumé outlining their qualifications, portfolio samples and references through the gallery’s website.
A committee will review the work and the community will then be able to provide their opinions after the three final designers are selected. Each will receive a $1,000 stipend to create a new logo that will be showcased in the gallery foyer in the spring and summer.
The design that’s ultimately selected will be commissioned to create a brand guide, letterhead, business cards and other branded materials.
Responses can be submitted online until Nov. 13 at 5 p.m. at www.woodstockartgallery.ca.

LONDON (AP) — With a few daubs of a paintbrush, the Brontë sisters have got their dots back.
More than eight decades after it was installed, a memorial to the three 19th-century sibling novelists in London’s Westminster Abbey was amended Thursday to restore the diaereses – the two dots over the e in their surname.
The dots — which indicate that the name is pronounced “brontay” rather than “bront” — were omitted when the stone tablet commemorating Charlotte, Emily and Anne was erected in the abbey’s Poets’ Corner in October 1939, just after the outbreak of World War II.
They were restored after Brontë historian Sharon Wright, editor of the Brontë Society Gazette, raised the issue with Dean of Westminster David Hoyle. The abbey asked its stonemason to tap in the dots and its conservator to paint them.
“There’s no paper record for anyone complaining about this or mentioning this, so I just wanted to put it right, really,” Wright said. “These three Yorkshire women deserve their place here, but they also deserve to have their name spelled correctly.”
It’s believed the writers’ Irish father Patrick changed the spelling of his surname from Brunty or Prunty when he went to university in England.
Raised on the wild Yorkshire moors, all three sisters died before they were 40, leaving enduring novels including Charlotte’s “Jane Eyre,” Emily’s “Wuthering Heights” and Anne’s “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.”
Rebecca Yorke, director of the Brontë Society, welcomed the restoration.
“As the Brontës and their work are loved and respected all over the world, it’s entirely appropriate that their name is spelled correctly on their memorial,” she said.
