No theme for the artwork has been mandated; however, artists are requested to keep in mind the historical significance of the African-American community where Fredd "Glossie" Atkins Park is located, as well as the importance of the park to the neighborhood. The use of one or more bold colors would be an asset, but the creative process will be allowed to be played out by the artist. The three finalists will receive a stipend of $1,000 to cover expenses incurred for all submission requirements and travel. The total budget for the commissioned artwork is $75,000 including delivery, installation and a 2-year warranty. Entry fee.
