Dear Mayor Krauss:
It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art
Challenge.
The Public Art Challenge is a new program to support temporary public art projects that can
transform civic spaces and drive economic development. We are inviting mayors of cities
with 30,000 residents or more to submit proposals for innovative temporary public art
projects that demonstrate close collaboration between artists, arts organizations and city
government. At least three cities will be selected to receive up to $1 million each over two
years. Our hope is that these projects will engage communities, enhance creativity, and
enrich the vibrancy of cities.
For more information on how to apply, visit publicartchallenge.bloomberg.org. Please note
each application requires a partnership between an artist or arts organization and the host
city's mayor. The deadline for submission is Monday, December 15, 2014.
I hope you will be part of this exciting new initiative. If you have additional questions,
contact Anita Contini at(212)205-0222 or arts@bloomberg.org.
Sincerely,
Patricia E. Harris
Chief Executive Officer
