CALL FOR ART PROPOSALS
LOGAN SQUARE ARTS FEST 2024
The Logan Square Arts Festival is back this summer, June 28th–June 30th, and we want to hear from you!
Artists / Art Collectives / Arts Organizations: We are accepting proposals for the concept and creation of our Festival’s visual & performance art installations.
Collaborate with us to create an immersive festival experience and showcase your creativity to 40,000+ attendees over the course of the weekend.
PLUS: The proposal(s) we select will be funded by festival organizer, I AM Logan Square.
Please review our guidelines before submitting your application and proposal at the link below. The submission deadline is: SUNDAY, MAY 19TH, 2024.
We look forward to seeing your ideas! If you have any questions, please feel free to send us an email: outreach@logansquareartsfestival.com
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
Submissions across all genres and styles of visual / performance art will be considered: everything from large-scale, physical installations to live performance art pieces (with bonus points for interactive projects!)
Your project will be outdoors and MUST be sturdy and safe enough to withstand exposure to the elements ~PLUS~ interactions with Festival crowds of all-ages (40,000+ attendees).
The Festival takes place at the heart of Logan Square, within the boundaries of Logan Blvd / Milwaukee Ave / Kedzie Blvd. For general reference, check out this site map.
There are no walls or infrastructure to display your work within the Festival grounds—be creative!
We fund the chosen project(s)—winners are responsible for the FULL creation & implementation: from pre-fest planning / construction, to the on-site installation / de-installation phases.
We can only consider proposals with budgets under $1,600. Our goal is to fund as many as we can, so please keep this in mind when determining your total project budget.
You'll be asked to provide details and approximate dimensions of your concept's total footprint. Any structural elements MUST be less than 400 sq ft total & under 12 ft tall. Amplified sound/music will not be permitted.
Artwork sales will not be permitted on-site. If you'd like the opportunity to sell your work at the Fest, please check out our artisan vendor application here.
