Fairytale Town

Fairytale Town invites artists and artist teams residing in the United States, to submit their qualifications for the Fairytale Town public art project in Sacramento. The artwork opportunity is for an approximately 20’ x 30’ interactive playset installation for kids aged 1-10 to climb, walk through, and explore.

Applicants do not need to have previous experience creating playsets to be qualified for the project. However, past experience must show outdoor installations of a similar scale to this project.

Budget:

The total budget of $325,000 includes all costs to design, fabricate, and install the artwork.

The artwork should:

• Engage children ages 1-10.

• Be made with durable materials suitable for the outdoors and for children to play and interact with.

• Be inspired by (but not necessarily be a literal interpretation of) the Monkey King. The Monkey King (or Sun Wukong) is a trickster and a main character in the 16th-century novel Journey to the West: Legends of the Monkey King, a classic of Chinese literature.

• Encourage children to be physically active and inspire them to furnish a play narrative.
