ATTENTION ARTISTS! Cathedral City Public Arts Commission is seeking painters/muralists to paint 23 benches for a project at Ocotillo Park, centrally located at 33300 Moreno Road in Cathedral City. This neighborhood park offers a range of amenities, including ball fields, a basketball court, skateboard park, tennis court, tot lot, splash pad, barbeque stands, shade structures, and a walking path.
Its diverse offerings cater to a wide array of interests and age groups, making it a popular destination for residents seeking outdoor fun and relaxation. Ocotillo Park serves as a vibrant community gathering place, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared enjoyment among neighborhood residents.
Goal of the Project
When you visit this park, you will see how much the community embraces it, and enjoys it in all aspects, as there are a constant stream of visitors. Every part of the park is in constant use, and we would like to add an even more colorful and playful element, by painting the benches to enhance the community's experience. Painting the benches, making them more unique, and colorful, will add to that sense of pride, and make it more fun.
The proposals should reflect the project objectives, including theme and context within the project site, and should be respectful of the greater context of the community. Proposed artwork must be family-friendly and cannot depict sexual conduct or sexually explicit nudity nor advertise any activity illegal under the laws of California or the United States. The Cathedral City Public Arts Commission will select proposals that best meets the city's objectives for this project. The Public Art Commission reserves the right to contact artists prior to final selection for clarification or expansion of their proposal.
Selected artists will receive a stipend of $500. Artists must provide their own supplies (prep, paint, etc.). The city will clean and prime the benches and will seal the benches with an anti-graffiti top coat upon completion.
