Call for Public Art - Takoma Park Maryland

The Takoma Park Arts & Humanities Commission is seeking proposals for public art projects from artists (of all disciplines and mediums). The Commission encourages applicants to think of the city as a blank canvas and decide what public art projects would best embody the creative spirit and rich history of the community. The deadline for submissions is this coming Friday, February 22, 2008.

A total of $10,000 has been budgeted in FY08 for public art.
The funds may be spent on a single public art project or work or divided among a number of projects. Projects may be permanent or temporary in nature. The project must be completed by June 30, 2008.
