Hey Eden Prairie dwellers and art aficionados, it's your time to shine. The city is throwing open the doors for artists far and wide with a call for entries to their Rotating Art Series. Get ready to see your work, whether it's an older masterpiece, a fresh creation, or an idea for an art event, in some of Eden Prairie's prime outdoor locales.
This isn't just another exhibit—it's a chance to permanently or temporarily turn spaces like the Outdoor Center and Purgatory Creek Park into canvases that provoke conversation and give locals a hefty dose of culture with their outdoor fun. The initiative looks to quickly infuse art into the day-to-day, with pieces that spark dialogues about art's place in crafting community identity.
You've got until Friday, May 23, to get those applications in. In a statement released by the City of Eden Prairie's announcement, they're not just seeking diversity in art forms but in the artists themselves. They're calling for Minnesota's homegrown talent to bring forward works that reflect the wide-ranging backgrounds and stories of the people calling the city home.
So whether you like to work big, crafting sculptures that make park-goers stop in their tracks, or to subtly weave visuals into the environment, like what's been done at the Minnesota River Vista Outlook tunnel, this is your cue. Not only do you get to widely exhibit your skill, but you'll be part of an effort to deepen public engagement with the arts. Now go ahead, knock our socks off with creations that can make even the most art-ambivalent local take notice and maybe, just maybe, truly appreciate the strokes of genius that define our shared spaces.
