Street Canvas Project Proposal Form

With the CAD Street Canvas Project (SCP) we aim to showcase voices often found in the fringe but speaking to valuable histories from Chicago and beyond. The SCP is driven to feature a variety of artists and practices, so we welcome applications of all kinds.

Our selection team will be meeting in the middle of March to curate this upcoming opportunity. We are looking for the next artist to have installation completed by the 2nd Friday in April (8th), so please keep this in mind when proposing.

At this time we do not have any funding to support stipends, so all we can offer any artist is (1) the opportunity, (2) marketing and promotions through CAD’s online networks, (3) 24-7 visibility on a busy street including specific lights for the wall at night, (4) a prominent place for 2nd Friday events which draw hundreds of people each month, and (5) undying support from the CAD community!

Thank you for taking the time to submit this proposal!  Also, this form will NOT work on a mobile phone! Please use a real computer…and make sure to press “Submit” when done!
