Its approximate size will be up to 5 ft. tall X 10 ft. wide and it will be freestanding and organic in shape. It will be located at the main entry to the park, in the eastern corner.

The art project will be funded by the Friends of Joey’s Park. The exact amount of funding is to be determined based on the proposed project.

This call for artists is an open competition for professional artists. A team of artists is welcome to apply and the submitted images must reflect the collaborative work of the team players.
