Submission Policy
Art on the Streets accepts proposals via CallforEntry.org from mid-November through mid-February.
Each year, 12 works are selected by an independent jury panel. The primary criterion for selection is artistic merit. Secondary criteria include installation logistics, maintenance and safety concerns, and inclusion of a diverse range of media and perspectives. All works will be evaluated for stability by a structural engineer contracted by Downtown Ventures. While sculpture tends to dominate the entry pool, other types of art suitable for outdoor display are encouraged, including murals as well as interactive and multimedia works. Art on the Streets also has the ability to work with artists on larger and/or site-specific installations.
Encore Art on the Streets
Encore refers to works that continue on display but have not been purchased for long-term maintenance and display.
