Opportunity

The City of Boise’s Department of Arts & History invites artists to apply for the opportunity to create artwork for the Linen District Fence. One artist, or artist team, will be selected and awarded a $4,000 stipend to create four new 2’ x 4’ panel works.

Applicants should consider the following prompt: How would your concept and materials creatively reflect the passage of time?

The selected artist is welcome to choose their preferred medium but must consider selecting materials that can endure outdoor conditions and pedestrian interaction for one year. The department will provide up to $150 for the artist’s preferred panel material. The artist must also ensure the finished panels will fit into the four prefabricated frames installed on the fence. The site is located on the black fence, west of the Linen Building, on Grove Street between 14th and 15th street, in Boise, Idaho. The artworks will be displayed in this location for one year, after which the artwork will be evaluated for acquisition, or returned to the artist. 

Eligibility

Local artists are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants must be 18 years or older.
