Each artist or artist team must submit for review to the selection panel:
• Letter of Interest with Conceptual Narrative of Proposal;
• Sketches, renderings, or CAD images of proposed artwork;
• Materials List;
• Approximate budget including additional outside funding resources (if any);
• Proposed completion timeframe
• 10 portfolio images and descriptions of past work (sized to 1200px max on longest dimension);
• Resume (please include your name and contact information);

It is possible that only part of the budget for a proposed project may be granted. Artists are welcome to include an alternative version of their proposed project with the full version that reflects a contingency plan and/or budget OR may include other potential sources of funding in lieu of full project sponsorship. If no alternate plan or funding is proposed it will be assumed that your project requires the fully requested amount.
