This opportunity is for a single artist or artist team to create two sculptural works of public art-each at or near the entrance to these two metropolitan parks. The artworks created for these two parks should align with this set of values. This spirit is embodied in the Austin Parks and Recreation Department motto “Cultural Places, Natural Spaces” and is an attitude central to its approach to parkland development.

That this can all occur within a shared experience allows parks – and especially large urban parks – to have a special opportunity to strengthen communities and their connection to the land. As natural systems, parks provide habitat and a wealth of species increasingly challenged by urban growth. As public places, parks bring diverse communities together in a shared place and through collective experiences. Parks play a vital role in the life of a city. The selected artist or team will work collaboratively with the project team and AIPP staff to integrate their artwork into the overall set of park improvements. The artworks must capture the unique character of the individual parks. These three-dimensional artworks will serve as entry features to increase the visibility of each park’s main entrance.
