Call for Proposals: Temporary artworks Auck

This is your chance to change the city!

Auckland Council invites submissions of proposals for temporary artworks in Auckland.

Proposals can be high level creative ideas that outline your concept for one-off, temporary, ephemeral performances, installations, digital, sound or sculptural works. Proposals can be submitted individually or in collaboration with other creatives. The proposals need to be exciting, surprising, unexpected and engaging with the public.

If your concept is intended for a specific site in Auckland, or for a specific time of the year, please indicate that in your proposal. We welcome all extraordinary ideas, that fulfil the public art’s objective to enhance and at times transform public places in Auckland through art introductions and interventions.

All proposals will be considered by the Manager Public Art and selected based on the criteria stated in the proposal form.

If your proposal is selected you will be contracted to take your project to the next stage of developed design. You will work closely with the council’s public art team and other relevant stakeholders on feasibility and proposed budget requirements.

The value of this contract will be up to the maximum of $2,000 paid upon the delivery of developed concept and acceptance by Auckland Council. The production costs for the execution of the project will be covered by Auckland Council.

To submit a proposal, or for more information download the proposal form (link provided below).

The closing date for submissions is 28 February 2012.
