The CNV Civic Public Art Program, facilitated by The Arts Office, is accepting Expressions of Interest from artists or artist teams to develop a one-of-a-kind childrens play feature as part of the Rey Sargent Park upgrade that will occur in 2011.
The goal of the public art project is to create and install playable public artwork(s) that are integrated into the park design, are socially engaging for a wide range of age groups and invite creative exploration.
The artistic elements designed for the Rey Sargent Park play area should engage young minds and bodies in a creatively open-ended fashion that will invite social interaction, creative interpretation and be conducive to dramatic presentation. Words that might best convey the intention for this area are: Playable, imaginative, challenging, inviting, inventive, interactive, hiding & seeking, jumping, laughing, accessible and inclusive.
This opportunity is open to professional artists, artist teams and/or design professionals who:
- are able to meet the creative, eligibility and performance criteria;
- can demonstrate the skills to manage all phases of the project implementation from design through to installation, in conjunction with the project’s landscape architect and municipal staff.
