Arizona Artists Encouraged To Apply For Coronado Fence Project
The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture’s Public Art Program invites Arizona artists to submit qualifications for a new public art project in the Coronado Historic District.
The project is part of a Street Transportation Department project in central Phoenix to construct a fence on a new median on Virginia Avenue, directly south of North High School. The selected artist or artists will design panels for the fence but will not be responsible for fabrication. The project is ideal for artists who generally work with two-dimensional media, small metals and textile design; metal-working or public art experience is not necessary. Nov. 2 is the deadline to apply for the project.
The purpose of the Coronado Fence is to better direct vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area near the high school. It is part of a neighborhood project initiated by residents of the Greater Coronado Neighborhood Association in cooperation with the Street Transportation Department. The selected artist will be asked to work with a steering committee that includes neighborhood residents, North High representatives and the city’s Office of Historic Preservation, as well as the Street Transportation Department and the fence contractor.
To receive the project’s “Call to Artists,” which has detailed application requirements, or to learn more about Phoenix’s Public Art Program, visit phoenix.gov/arts or call 602-262-4637 or TTY 602-534-5500.
