Call for Proposals: Installation Artist for Lakeshore Arts Festival

Deadline:
6/22/2009

The City of Evanston Cultural Arts Division seeks an artist or group to create and mount, over the course of one weekend, an in-progress outdoor art installation on the grounds of the Lakeshore Arts Festival, held at Dawes Park on the lakefront in Evanston. The festival takes place on Saturday and Sunday, August 1-2, 2009, from 11am-6pm each day. Installation artist(s) are expected to create a work in an area that is visible and open to the public throughout the period of time that the work is being installed, allowing for interaction among the patrons of the festival and for flexibility regarding weather and other conditions that may arise due to the location and nature of the event.

For a map and more details of the park location, please call 847.448.8264

After application is received, Cultural Arts Division staff will review the proposal and meet with candidates to discuss placement and design. If modifications are recommended, a revised application will be required.

Stipend: $300
Materials: $200
