2015 SKYLINE RFP Out Now - Due October 19, 2015. Please click here to download: 2015 SKYLINE RFP

SKYLINE (December 10 - 19, 2015) is a free, ten-day, annual architecture, art and technology event that showcases site specific, future-forward, interactive installations that embrace Los Angeles' ever-evolving cultural landscape. During SKYLINE, architects, designers and artists transform historic, hidden spaces within downtown Los Angeles into a unique experiential event for visitors and locals alike.
The 2015 SKYLINE presentation will consist of 11+ installations crossing many distinct districts in downtown Los Angeles, including the Historic District, Fashion District, Arts District, and Broadway District. SKYLINE aims to engage and educate the viewer through interventions specifically designed for individual sites. This results in an experience that draws attention to the architectural past, while providing a fresh, contemporary perspective.
SKYLINE exhibition spaces include unseen, unused, or underutilized locales in downtown Los Angeles. Sites selected showcase rooftops, private courtyards and lobbies, empty buildings and storefronts, and other unique architectural places that are often inaccessible to the public. These historic sites are easily walked by unnoticed, literally hidden from view, waiting to be exposed during SKYLINE. Uncovering these spaces via a self-guided walking discovery tour of downtown Los Angeles, combined with site-specific contemporary art and architecture interventions, exemplifies the SKYLINE experience.
