Donor Name: City of West Hollywood
State: California
City: West Hollywood
Type of Grant: Exhibition
Deadline: 07/06/2022
Details:
Proposals may be artistic, cultural, or popular in nature and may (but are not required to) feature themes related to the City’s unique history. Proposals will be evaluated on the artistic merit, potential visual enjoyment, innovation/risk in concept and technical approach, and prospective social interaction. Artworks should have both a strong daytime and nighttime presence.
Artworks included in the exhibition proposal should be able to withstand the natural elements and be ready to install in a public setting. Delicate artworks that may be vulnerable to the elements and/or public interaction are not advisable for this setting.
The City will prepare the site, remove existing foundations, remove/relocate existing light elements, and construct new foundations to receive the approved public art exhibition. The term of this exhibition is expected to begin in Spring 2023 and conclude in June 2025, with the possibility to extend longer.
Eligibility Criteria
This is an open call to arts professionals based in the United States. BIPOC, women, LGBTQ+, and West Hollywood-based applicants are especially encouraged to apply. Proposals submitted by individuals or non-profit art organizations who have demonstrated abilities in curating, planning, implementing, and managing dynamic public art exhibitions will be considered. The qualified candidate will have strong organizational skills, excellent written communication skills, and experience in organizing exterior art installations of similar scope.
