IN-SIGHT Temporary Art Installations
Albuquerque's 1% for Public Art Program invites local artists to submit proposals for temporary public art installations that will be documented photographically for inclusion in the City's permanent collection.
IN-SIGHT asks artists to show Albuquerque residents and visitors how they see the world, through the installation of temporary artworks around our city. Artists are encouraged to challenge traditional artistic mediums, and explore unconventional ways to enhance our city.
The objectives of IN-SIGHT are to broaden the role of the artist in the community by:
- Developing quality public artworks that represent diverse communities and exhibit a wide range of artistic styles and disciplines.
- Providing opportunities for artists, including emerging artists, to manage a small-scale public art project.
- Providing opportunities for artists to advance less traditional art forms.
- Offering contemporary, short-term installations of public art in locales around the city.
- Encouraging dialogue about works of public art, issues raised by art, and the various roles that an artist can undertake.
Funding is solely available to artists 18 years of age or older, residing in Albuquerque.
Awards are in the amount of $1,000.
Review deadlines for proposals are May 1st and October 1st. If those dates fall on a weekend, your application must be received by 4:30 PM the following Monday.
