Get-Your-Shit-Together Contest For Artists
Our city is continually shifting, and it’s all because of a convergence of energies that make up our art scene. We’re stoked that more frequently local agencies are actively seeking collaboration with local creatives on public art projects that flaunt La Phoenikera’s identity.
If you’re an emerging or experienced Phoenikerx artist who wants to bring it, there are a few opportunities you could seize right now to get some funding and make your art exist publicly.
One of the projects seeks participants to make navigation easier for transit users on the Downtown Transfer Hub section of the South Central Light Rail Extension. The chosen artist should highlight La Phoenikera’s character at the Central Avenue/Washington and Central Avenue/Jefferson platforms.

Another bad-ass project is to design the logo (symbol, wordmark, or combination) that represents the Eastlake Community (12th Street to 16th Street between Van Buren and Jackson). If selected, your design will appear on wayfinding signs and all kinds of branding and promotional materials. Also, there are five hundie buckaroos for whoever wins.

One more and we’ll let you go. Visual artists also have the opportunity to show off their skills in the ArtsLine Rotating Transit Art Series. Selected creatives will receive $2,500 bones to conceptualize and create original artworks that will serve a variety of purposes for about six months.
As a local artist, you’ll get the chance to create supersized wall art at the Roosevelt/Central Avenue light rail station, paint the ceiling of a light rail car, and have your work on posters, buses and trains and all over social media.
Do it! Get all the info HERE.
If any of these opportunities interests you and have more specific questions than the websites can answer, this Thursday, April 5, there will be an RFQ (Request For Qualifications) artist workshop. Show up and learn about the application process at Downtown Phoenix Inc. on 1 E. Washington St. #230 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
So if you’re an artist, be there. If you aren’t, encourage your artist friends to apply!
