Application Deadline for the City of Valdosta “Dumpster Art” Project
August 31, 2016 @ 5:00 pm
The City of Valdosta and the Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts invite artists and artist teams to submit their conceptual designs to be considered for a public Dumpster Art project. Artistically-inspired citizens are invited to paint creative designs that celebrate life in the city on one of three dumpsters located in the downtown area.
Artistic work will be accomplished on site on Saturday, Sept. 17. The Dumpster Art will be displayed for a full year, providing beautiful visuals for downtown visitors and significant exposure for the artists. The artists will oversee the fabrication of the public art.
The deadline to apply is August 31, 2016, by 5 p.m. There is no artist fee. Paints and some supplies provided. Dumpsters will be steam cleaned and will receive a coat of primer paint prior to the start of artists’ work.
