Arlington County, Virginia, is seeking qualifications from artists or artist teams interested in creating temporary public art projects and/or activations that would be commissioned as part of Courthouse 2.0: Reimagining the Civic — an ongoing, multi-year initiative aimed at imagining Courthouse Square as an engaging, creative space where Arlington explores its civic future.

DEADLINE: JUNE 19TH AT 11:59pm

Reimagining the Civic will serve as a platform for a multitude of creative activities. The programming will encompass a variety of projects including, but not limited, to temporary/semi-temporary public art, performances, lectures, exhibitions and pop-up activations. Arlington Cultural Affairs is organizing this initiative in collaboration with the County’s Urban Design and Research group (UD+R). Arlington Public Art will be seeking a minimum of four artists or teams who will be commissioned to create projects in the first year of Reimagining the Civic, starting in fall, 2015. Reimaging the Civic is a working project title. We anticipate re-issuing this call in the future to recruit artists for subsequent years.
