Little Tokyo is a 133-year old Japanese American community, the second oldest neighborhood in Los Angeles, one of three remaining historic Japantowns left in the nation, and one of the first fourteen California Cultural Districts.
Japanese American Cultural & Community Center and Little Tokyo Business Association in collaboration with Sustainable Little Tokyo invites artists deeply rooted in Little Tokyo to submit two-dimensional plans, sketches/drawings, images, or renderings as proposals for two art commissions that explores the past, present, and future of the Japanese American community:
Little Tokyo Open: The Art of Mini-Golf
Little Tokyo Open transforms open space within the Little Tokyo district into a pop-up nine-hole miniature golf course.
The mini-golf course will temporarily take place on two consecutive weekends, April 14-15 and 21-22, 2018.
Selected artists will receive a $500 commission fee with up to $500 fabrication/materials budget for a total of up to $1000.
Windows for Little Tokyo
Little Tokyo becomes an outdoor art exhibition with 10-15 site-specific, two-dimensional artworks displayed on the windows of small businesses and institutions across the neighborhood.
Windows of Little Tokyo will be displayed from April 14–October 13, 2018 (duration depends on each partnering site).
Selected artists will receive a $500 commission fee.
DEADLINE: January 15, 2018.
