About This Call
The City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), in partnership with the Chicago Park District (CPK), invites artists and artist teams to submit qualifications for a significant public art commission at the future DuSable Park. The park will be a site of remembrance and celebration of Chicago’s early history. This artwork will uplift Native voices, honoring Indigenous inhabitants’ continued presence and their foundational role in the origins of Chicago. The artwork will tell a story of alliance, cultural exchange, and enduring vibrancy. The budget for this permanent artwork is $500,000, inclusive of all costs and fees associated with design, engineering, fabrication, site preparation, installation, and related expenses.
