IN FLUX Cycle 8 partners invite artists across all disciplines to create temporary public artworks in a wide variety of locations throughout the Valley.
In your application submission, please indicate which opportunities you are interested in:
The entire submission to the RFQ must be completed on the online Submittable platform hosted by Tempe Public Art. All requirements must be met or the application will be removed from consideration.

Absolutely! The intentions of this multi-city partnership are to create connections between community organizations, city governments, local businesses, artists, and audiences, while providing creatives a chance to expand their skills, challenge their creativity, and garner public recognition for their work.
The RFQ in its entirety is online on a submission platform called Submittable. You will be asked to create a Submittable account when you upload your submission.
The following materials are requested in PDF format:
Up to six digital images of previously created artwork in jpeg format. Artists are invited as part of their submission to provide up to two of images (of the total six images) that represent their proposed installation if they so choose. This is especially helpful for those artists who may not have previous experience with public art work, but have an idea they want to propose for one of the locations. Concept images are not required.
Be honest, but talk about how your gallery experience could translate into public art, what you hope to get out of public art, what your possible ideas are for public art, what public art you have found inspiring. Not necessarily all of those things, but some of them could be good.
Yes, but in your application submission, please include the opportunity you are most interested in. This does not guarantee that the selection panel will place you in that specific opportunity however it will give the panelists a better idea of how you would approach this opportunity.
Yes. If applying as a team, please select a team lead as a point of contact for all communications. Artists applying as a member of a team are not eligible to also apply as an individual. Teams must submit one resume/CV per team member merged into one PDF.
Artists will be notified in early November, 2018.
