The Union Park Hoarding Art Project

**The City of Johns Creek invites experienced professional artists or artist teams to submit qualifications to create an iconic and site-responsive sculpture for the City’s newest park: The Boardwalk at Town Center under construction adjacent to City Hall.**

  
**Project Description**

The City of Johns Creek invites experienced professional artists or artist teams to submit qualifications to create an iconic and site-responsive work of art for The Boardwalk at Town Center (anticipated to open in the summer of 2026). The artwork is intended to become an anchoring signature piece that will become a permanent fixture in the City’s Town Center. 

The City of Johns Creek is not a traditional City in that it was incorporated on December 1, 2006, following a citizen-driven referendum focused on improving service delivery and enhancing local control. Although a newer city, the Johns Creek community has a long and rich history dating back to the 1800s. The City of Johns Creek is one of the most diverse cities in the state of Georgia, and City events including the Lunar New Year Celebration, the International Festival, the Juneteenth Celebration, the Literary Fair, and the Diwali Marketplace provide rich opportunities for residents to gather and celebrate the cultural diversity of our community. 

We encourage artists to be inspired by the City’s history and heritage, honoring the past, acknowledging the progress that has been made since the City’s incorporation, and celebrating the future yet to come. 

The artwork is intended to be installed in tandem with the grand opening of The Boardwalk at Town Center, anticipated for the summer of 2026\. 

  
**Artwork Location Description**

The location of the artwork is intended to be within the City’s newest park, The Boardwalk at Town Center (formerly known as Creekside Park). Several locations in the park are under consideration for the artwork. These locations will be identified and shown during the site visit with the semi-finalists.

  

Artwork exhibited in Johns Creek, GA.

  
Budget Description

The central focus of this commission is on one statement piece. The available budget is $150,000, intended to cover all artist fees (including necessary travel), design (including any needed engineering of base for installation), testing, fabrication, installation, a commemorative plaque, insurance, and any other fees or costs related to the development and installation of the artwork.

The Boardwalk at Town Center Artwork Commission

Exhibit your artwork for millions to see! Submissions are now open for Season 5\. The Gallery is on a mission to spark meaningful conversations through art, and this time, we want your artistic take on the theme: **_It’s Not Easy Being Green_**. 

  
**Conversations about climate change dominate the global agenda. From corporate greenwashing to debates about single use plastics, carbon footprints and environmentally-sustainable living, Kermit the Frog’s singular line “It’s Not Easy Being Green” takes on a whole new meaning.** 

  
**How can it inspire meaning and generate ideas to help our societies navigate the environmental challenges that lie ahead?** 

  
**With COP taking place for the first time in Brazil this November, The Gallery Season 5 is delighted to partner with the British Council as part of the UK/Brazil Season of Culture. We’re inviting artists from Brazil, the UK and around the world to respond to the theme _‘It’s Not Easy Being Green’_.** The selected proposals will be reproduced at scale and displayed for millions to see on public sites traditionally reserved for advertising across the UK and Brazil. This is an opportunity for artistic exposure on a grand scale and to be part of a national conversation. 

Artists will be supported to develop and adapt their work for presentation on advertising billboards, bus shelters and similar. They will also receive ongoing mentoring and advice during the process. All artists receive:

* A fee of £2,000
* Support from Creative Director Martin Firrell
* Support from our Exhibition Curator Bakul Patki
* An international platform to exhibit work including through the dedicated website at thegallery.org.uk
* The services of a designer to format the artwork for digital (and paper and paste sites if relevant)
* Costs of production, mounting and leasing of the advertising spaces
* Selected photographic documentation of the artwork displayed on advertising spaces
* Scheduled online meet-ups with fellow contributing artists and team
* Participation in online discussion regarding making art for the public realm
* Invitation to exhibition launch in London in October 2025\. If based in the UK, reasonable travel and one night’s accommodation will be included. For artists based outside of the UK, a travel stipend will be provided to go towards any/all travel expenses, including visa fees and one night’s accommodation is included.
* For those based outside the UK, Artichoke will explore additional means of support towards travel costs where possible (e.g. from Embassies, Trusts and Foundations).

IT’S NOT EASY BEING GREEN

**More Art’s Engaging Artists Commission is an opportunity for early career artists focused on the incubation and commissioning of a public art project and carries an $8000 award to realize the project, plus curatorial, conceptual, budgetary, and logistical mentorship.**

  
**What to expect**

$8000 will be awarded to one socially-engaged art project to take place in a public space in New York City. The selected project must culminate in a public art installation, event, series, collaboration, or engagement in 2026.

More Art’s curatorial team will provide guidance in refining project concepts, developing public programming, and navigating the logistics of working in public space. Artists will also have opportunities to present their work in critical dialogues and events that further contextualize the project within broader conversations on history, memory, and social justice.

The EA Commission is open to early-career artists, including individuals and collectives, based in the U.S. with a demonstrated interest in public and socially engaged art. Prior experience working in public art is not required, but applicants should have a strong conceptual foundation and a commitment to engaging with communities through their work.

**The project will begin with an incubation and research phase in September of 2025, leading to a launch in spring or summer 2026.** Additional funding beyond the $8000 is not available, and artists are encouraged to take an honorarium for their work. As such, proposals should be scaled to appropriately reflect the calendar and budget offered for the commission.

Artists are also invited to participate in workshops, artist talks, and peer network support with the EA Fellows.

  
**Theme**

**In 2026, the Commission will address the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, a moment that invites celebration, reflection and a pause. This year we will focus on revealing histories that have been forgotten, suppressed, or overwritten, particularly those of Indigenous cultures, diasporic communities, and other marginalized groups whose stories have been erased or displaced from the dominant narrative.** Along with spotlighting forgotten histories of displacement and forced migration, we are also interested in proposals that engage with the transformation of land and water due to colonization, industrialization, and extraction in New York City and beyond.

Projects may take many forms, including immersive sound walks and tours, temporary sculptural or site-responsive installations, performance-based works and interventions, polyvocal storytelling, and community-engaged workshops or participatory actions. While the format is open, projects should be deeply engaged with site, accessible to the public, and create opportunities for collective reflection, interaction, or historical reimagining. Projects that incorporate community participation and intergenerational storytelling, performance, and oral history as a means of reclaiming erased histories are of particular interest.

**Budget + resource allocation**

The $8000 award should cover all elements of research and development, production, exhibition, display, and documentation. A project budget is requested as part of the application.
