Subject: Calling All Artists! DSA's Urban Parks Art Program is Accepting Submissions!

I wanted to send a reminder about DSA's new art program that is officially accepting submissions, April 1 through May 31 for Fall art installations in Westlake and Occidental Parks. We are excited about creating a more comprehensible seasonal program for our work in the parks and to give many more artists the opportunity to participate and contribute to creating works for these fantastic urban spaces. As you can see in the description, the program is organized very similarly to Seattle Parks Department's Art in Parks Program which is no longer offered in Downtown or Center City Parks. This similar structure was an intentional attempt at making participation a recognizable process.

Please share this program widely amongst your own networks. Simply forward this email or encourage folks to connect with DSA directly.  We really want these public spaces to reflect our entire community and of course art plays a critical role in that!

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments to:  callsforartists@downtownseattle.orgmailto:callsforartists@downtownseattle.org

Thanks,
Jenn
