City of Aurora
Call for Art: Aurora Central Rec Park/Plaza, CO
- Deadline:
- Budget: $220,000
-
Eligibility: National
Plans are currently in progress to create a 14-acre community park featuring a playground, tennis and pickleball courts, a basketball court, picnic shelters, restrooms, a plaza area, open space, and a wetland designed to attract migratory birds and wildlife, complete with a pedestrian bridge. Nestled in the arid landscape along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, the park will be framed by a stunning natural backdrop. Several potential locations within the park have been identified for the inclusion of artwork.
The artwork could expand upon the exploration of movement initiated in the earlier artwork in a variety of ways such as integrating kinetic elements with movement generated by the wind (which is prevalent) or by human engagement, but this is not a requirement. The artwork should complement the surrounding landscape and natural environment that is highly valued by the neighborhood and wildlife and should not impede the view of the mountains.
The mission of Aurora’s Art in Public Places Program is to capture the pulse of the community by contributing to neighborhood development, economic vitality, and engaging the many voices of Aurora through arts and culture.
