Palm Desert's Art in Public Places Commission / Call for Artists 

Qualified artists should have experience in creating artworks that incorporate natural light during daylight hours and subdued artificial or reflected light at night.

Artists that have previously worked with solar, LEDs, lasers, light reflective materials, materials that transmit light, any other materials that can utilize light, or any combination of them are highly desirable.

Due to the harsh desert environment, qualified artists should have experience in working with materials that can withstand the climatic conditions.

The Commission is particularly interested in vertical artworks that utilize some or all above components in pieces that can be sequential or multiple with a common design(s) and a small footprint of three to four feet for each piece. The entire array of the pieces can esthetically function as one piece over a course of a one half (½) mile.

Emailed resumes and jpegs are acceptable, as are slides and CD's.
If emailing jpegs, make sure images are 72dpi.  All images and projects should be identified by dimensions, materials and place of temporary or permanent installation, if appropriate.
