THUNDER BAY -- The proposed waterfront art gallery is looking for the city's backing as it makes a $700,000 bid to the province.

A move to the waterfront for the Thunder Bay Art Gallery was endorsed by city council last year.

The gallery has now applied to the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation for its architectural design phase, a $700,000 ask.

Because the application needs to show that a project is part of a municipal cultural plan, on Monday council is being asked to make the project its top priority for arts and cultural funding.

It would be added to the city's 2011 Inspire Thunder Bay Cultural Plan.
