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.
