Call for Artists | Untold Stories 

Lexington, KY

Gatton Park on the Town Branch seeks experienced artists to transform Town Branch Creek’s untold stories into an outdoor interactive public art piece(s) to be installed adjacent to the creek bed and walking path. The park opening, coupled with Lexington’s 250-year anniversary, is an unprecedented opportunity to address and honor the complex history of Town Branch Creek. Specifically, this project will explore the history of African Americans, enslaved and freed, who were essential to the creation of our built environment and early commerce along the Town Branch in Lexington, KY. Gatton Park is accepting applications on callforentry.org through September 18, 2024. There is no fee to enter. The project budget is $250,000. Given the nature of this project and the site, artists who identify as Black or African American, or of African American descent are encouraged to apply. Questions? Email Director of Programs & Engagement Erica Cook at erica@gattonpark.org.

Deadline: September 18, 2024
