AIPP Call to Artists!

Art in Public Places seeks to commission a professional artist or artist team to create a permanent public artwork for Colony Park District Park. Located between Loyola and Decker Lanes, and adjacent to the community’s Turner Roberts Recreation Center, the park is being developed in partnership with Austin Parks Foundation and St. David’s Foundation, with planned improvements including a multi-purpose field, nature–based play area, pedestrian bridge and other amenities. The selected artwork will reflect the unique history and values of the neighborhood and serve as a visual marker to help identify Colony Park District Park. The total project budget is $39,500, and professional visual artists, or artist teams, at least 18 years of age who live in the Williamson, Travis, Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Burnet and Blanco counties are eligible to apply. The deadline is January 4, 2018. Applications must be received online via www.PublicArtist.org/AustinAIPP.
