CURATORIAL CRITERIA

Artistic Merit will be the most important curatorial consideration.

Site Specificity and/or appropriateness for the site and situation will be a major curatorial criteria. The closer your proposal comes to specifically addressing Lower Arroyo Park issues and history, the more the panel will smile upon you.

Eco-friendliness will be a big bonus to your application. Works must not alter or harm plants or geology.

If any alterations of site are intended, a brief statement on how you will restore the site is required.

Methods of attachment to existing flora must meet City of Pasadena Natural Resources Division criteria. You will receive advice on this, as needed and upon request.

Self-containment is essential.

Electricity must be provided by artists. Unlike past years, generators will neither be provided nor allowed. Spark-suppressed solar or battery systems are just fine.

Existing work will be considered on its merit. However, when all else is equal, new work will be given preference.
