The City of Grants Pass, along with Josephine County Transit (JCT), and program sponsor Republic Services, is inviting artists 18 years of age and older to submit original artwork for the “Art in Motion” program.
Donor Name: City of Grants Pass
State: Oregon
City: Grants Pass
Type of Grant: Exhibition
Deadline: 04/10/2023
Size of the Grant: $200.00
Details:
This public art project is essentially a gallery on wheels; artwork is displayed on 54” x 34” vinyl print on both sides of one of the Josephine Community Transit buses. The art is there to engage people, expand public art visibility, create opportunities for the community to experience art in everyday life, and enhance the overall artistic climate of the City of Grants Pass.
This proposal solicits submissions for two exhibition periods. The first is from May through August 2023, and the second is from September through December 2023. The work will be selected based on originality, artistic conception, and quality. One or two artists may be chosen for each exhibition period.
Funding Information
A stipend of $200.00 for each artist chosen.
Eligibility Criteria
All artists working in, but not limited to, the following disciplines are invited to submit images of their work: painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, digital graphics, engravings, sculpture, glass, wood, metal/jewelry, ceramics, fiber arts, mixed media, and assemblage.
Selection Process
The City of Grants Pass Committee on Public Art (CoPA) will review and select submissions. Exhibitors will be selected based on originality, art concept, quality of reproduction integrity and the overall artistic caliber of each piece submitted. An effort will be made to represent a broad diversity of styles, media, and disciplines.
- CoPA may, at its sole discretion, crop, manipulate, adjust, or use a portion/fragment of the original art that best fits the poster parameters on the bus display to increase impact and clarity.
- The artist’s name and title or medium of their work will accompany each submission once selected and will be reproduced accordingly. All chosen artists will be notified of their selection before placement on display.
