Artworks exhibited through this program include sculpture, murals, digital screen-based artwork and projections, and performance art. Most exhibitions remain on display for a duration of 6 months to 3 years, depending on the concept, construction, and location of the approved artwork. While proposals for new artworks are eligible for review, the AOTO program is best suited to realizing exhibitions of prefabricated artworks that can be installed at the approved site without extensive modification. This is due in large part to funding limitations of the program and prohibitive costs associated with fabricating unrealized artwork suitable for outdoor display. Eligibility Criteria This is an open call to individual artists, curators, and non-profit arts organizations based in the United States for exhibitions of emerging, mid-career, and established artists.  Evaluation Criteria Established criteria includes: Artist Qualifications and Experience Aesthetics Diversity Proposed Budget Public Safety, Materials, Maintenance, and Structural Integrity Location Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission Work Plan For more information, visit City of West Hollywood.
