Call-to-Artists – Beyond the Gallery

Urban Public Art & Design - Beyond the Gallery

Art practices that exist outside of the confines of the gallery have a long history that include genres such as land art, eco-art, public art, and social practice art. This short listing, though far from complete, is meant to provide a platform for understanding the scope of creativity outside the boundaries of white cubic space.

The aim of this call-to-artists is to exhibit Urban Public Artworks that fulfills its traditional role while pushing the envelope of social space, and even technology, to actualize itself in harmony with the urban and natural environment. In doing so we would like to provide examples of Urban Public Art that can inspire people. These can be completed projects for which you have visual and written documentation, or they can be models or maquettes for a project yet to be realized.

“My dream project idea was not selected for implementation, can I submit that?”

Yes, we want to see your dream project idea, or public art submission was not chosen, we are especially interested in seeing it.

These projects can take many forms. We are thinking about Urban Public Artworks that provide energy, sustainable gardens, realistic transportation solutions, and outdoor multipurpose venues, large scale, or just some small feature. It is up to you, the artist, to submit your ideas, projects, or plans. We are open to whatever you have to offer.

Urban art and design projects are supported in the public realm with creativity, inspiration, and financial support. When urban communal spaces become more humanized they grow culturally and economically, inspiring the various populations that use those spaces in many exciting ways. This is what we are looking for, creativity and inspiration, notions that can be realized, actualized, and carried forward into the future of S. Florida.

This call-to-artists seeks out projects, realized or experimental, that play with those notions.
