Fairytale Town Public Art Project – Call for Artists
Fairytale Town invites artists and artist teams residing in the United States to submit their qualifications for the Fairytale Town public art project in Sacramento, CA. The artwork opportunity is for an approximately 20’ x 30’ interactive playset installation for kids aged 1-10 to climb, walk through, and explore.
Applicants do not need to have previous experience creating playsets to be qualified for the project. However, past experience must show outdoor installations of a similar scale to this project.
Budget:
The total budget of $325,000 includes all costs to design, fabricate, and install the artwork.
Project Description and Goals:
The artwork opportunity is for an approximately 20’ x 30’ interactive playset installation for kids ages 1-10 to climb, walk through, and explore.
The artwork should:
· Engage children ages 1-10.
· Be made with durable materials suitable for the outdoors and for children to play and interact with.
