Open Call for temporary public art exhibitions
West Hollywood, California
Summary: The City of West Hollywood’s Art on the Outside (AOTO) program funds the temporary display of rotating exhibitions of art at publicly accessible, City-owned locations that include but are not limited to parks, traffic medians, and communal areas of City-owned facilities.
Artworks exhibited through this program include sculpture, murals, digital screen-based artwork and projections, and performance art. Most exhibitions remain on display for a duration of 6 months to 3 years, depending on the concept, construction, and location of the approved artwork. While proposals for new artworks are eligible for review, the AOTO program is best suited to realizing exhibitions consisting of prefabricated artworks that can be installed at the approved site without extensive modification. This is due in large part to funding limitations of the program and prohibitive costs associated with fabricating unrealized artwork suitable for outdoor display.
Budget: $8,000
Deadline: 6/30/2024
How to apply: see link below
Eligibility Requirements: This is an open call to individual artists, curators, and non-profit arts organizations, based in the United States, for exhibitions of emerging, mid-career, and established artists.
Special Notes: Concept: The Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission encourages proposals that demonstrate experimentation, risk-taking, boundary-pushing characteristics compared to current practices and trends occurring locally, nationally, and internationally in public art.
