The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture, in collaboration with the Community and Economic Development Department and Public Works Department, requests qualifications from local emerging artists for its Pre-Qualified Artist Roster.
Donor Name: City of Phoenix
State: Arizona
City: Phoenix
Type of Grant: Program
Deadline: 12/16/2022
Size of the Grant: up to $5,000
Details:
Artists selected for this Roster will be eligible for opportunities to design artwork for urban furniture and utility boxes throughout the city over the next three years. The first opportunity, to be implemented in February 2023, will address public trash cans located in the Evans Churchill and Roosevelt historic neighborhoods. The selected artist(s) will be charged with beautifying an often-overlooked object with unique designs that provide a cohesive identity for the community.
The Roster will be used in collaboration with neighborhood partners who will work closely with City staff to identify artists that would be most appropriate specific project locations. The portfolio of images submitted as part of this Call will be used to make those recommendations.
Please note: inclusion in the Roster does not guarantee artists will be awarded a project. However, the list will be curated with the specific intent of providing opportunities to as many artists as possible.
