Fort Worth Public Art (FWPA) is excited to announce a new public art opportunity in conjunction with the revitalization of Heritage and Paddock Parks in downtown Fort Worth. As part of this transformative project, FWPA is seeking curators with demonstrated experience in telling the Native American story to lead the development of a significant public art initiative that honors and reflects the rich history and enduring contributions of Native American communities. Curators from across the country are invited to review the full project details and apply. Help shape a meaningful and lasting tribute in one of Fort Worth’s most historic locations. The Fort Worth Public Art Program seeks professional curators with a background in storytelling, preferably with Native American art expertise for the Paddock Park public art project. Paddock Park’s prominent location, including its proximity to the Trinity River and historic courthouse, make it an ideal location for a permanent, “iconic” public art project addressing Native American heritage. Further, for iconic artworks the Fort Worth Public Art Master Plan Update recommends that a curatorial panel be engaged to nominate artists uniquely suited to this project. As such, FWPA is assembling a Paddock Park Curatorial Panel of 3-5 selected curators and a Project Core Team (PCT), which will include members of the Heritage Park Steering committee and other cultural organizations. Curatorial Panel Selection: Curators will be selected based on demonstrated experience telling the Native American story, preferably in large-scale artworks. Curators should also maintain a willingness to work collaboratively with other professionals and accept input from the community. Curators with experience working with Native American Artists in public art or large-scale works are highly encouraged to apply. Application materials for curators will be presented to the Selection Panel, who will recommend 3-5 curators for the Paddock Park Curatorial Panel. The recommendations will be presented to the Fort Worth Art Commission (FWAC) for approval. Approved members of the Curatorial Panel will be provided a stipend of $1,000.00 each from the project budget for participation in the artist selection process.
