The City of Austin’s Art in Public Places (AIPP) program of the Cultural Arts Division, Economic Development Department, seeks proposals from professional visual artists or artist teams to design, fabricate, and install site-specific, short-term artwork or time-based performances in designated areas of Austin, including parkland spaces, libraries, streets and bridges, right-of-way, and other sites to be determined. The intent for the temporary public art is to cultivate curiosity, spark imagination, and engage the community in a meaningful dialogue about public art and foster work by local artists and cultivate tourism.
The City of Austin requests proposals from professional artists and designers who live and work in Williamson, Travis, Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Burnet, and Blanco counties are eligible to apply.
Multiple commissions will be awarded. The budget for artwork ranges from $3,000 to $10,000 for each commissioned work.
Two artist information meetings will be held to familiarize artists with the project opportunity including the application and selection process, and mission/intent/guidelines for temporary work. AIPP staff and project representatives will be available to answer questions.
Parking is available in the Convention Center Parking Garage above the Cultural Arts Division Offices (entrances to the garage on Brazos or San Jacinto). Parking will be validated at the meeting.
