The Freeway Park Association (FPA) seeks an artist to create a large-scale temporary art installation at Freeway Park during our annual Freeway Park in Bloom festival on JUNE 21st, 2025. Freeway Park in Bloom celebrates the bounty of the pacific northwest region, inviting participants to connect with local resources focused on sustainability and stewardship.
DETAILS
Freeway Park In Bloom Event Date: June 21st 12pm-3pm
The artist must visit the site with FPA prior to the event to discuss their concept, choose a location and create an installation plan for the artwork.
Freeway Park has various large trees, architecture, light poles and hanging wires to work with.
The art may be constructed using natural materials sourced by the artist or be inspired by botanical or floral themes.
FPA will help to find supplemental materials if possible.
The installation should be partially built during the event, inviting park visitors to participate in some way.
The installation is temporary but ideally will remain in the park for 5-10 days, experience decay and change, and then be taken down at a time frame agreed upon by artist and FPA.
FPA staff will assist with loading, siting and breakdown of installation.
FPA may also be able to assist with materials to use as infrastructure for the installation.
Budget: $2000 (50% prior to event and 50% after event)
