The city of Tempe is seeking an experienced visual artist or artist collective to create an eye-catching participatory art piece that is site specific to six Arts in the Parks events held over three weekends from Jan. 20 to Feb. 4, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
A city release explained that this visual or multi-modal artwork should be vibrant, dynamic and engaging to encourage community exploration and creative collaboration.
The artwork must incorporate components that can be touched, arranged or modified by attendees of all ages over the course of the events.
Possible approaches could include, but are not limited to, artist-made objects that the audience is encouraged to alter or construct with, or artworks designed with movable parts, interactive elements or mechanisms that allow park visitors to become active participants in shaping the visual and sensory experience within the park, the release detailed.
Successful candidates are expected to attend Arts in the Parks events and meetings related to this project. Artists interested in responding to and collaborating with the community are encouraged to apply.
