Art in the Park seeks proposals for site-specific or site-adaptive immersive art installations to be installed for the weekend of June 3-4, 2023 as part of the annual Art in the Park event.

The theme for this year’s installations is Whimsical Forest. Artists considering applying should use the following ideas to guide them in their submissions:
Whimsy: Playful, colorful, fanciful, amusing
Magic: Powerful, mysterious, exciting, influential
Nature: Flora and fauna, growth, life-cycles, and environment
Density: Networks, roots and branchs, fullness, layering

As well as: 3-5 examples of previous work; 2-3 sketches/samples of work proposed for Art in the Park; brief description of the project clearly stating the site, how it will be installed, and what materials are needed to create the project (if any) that CAL can help secure.
