Open call for Art in the Park 2024: AWAKEN, an opportunity to install temporary artworks throughout Swan Park, Buncrana.

This open call seeks artists to create sensory, temporary outdoor artworks that respond to the site. The park will just be beginning to emerge from deep winter and this outdoor group show will quietly awaken our senses incorporating light, sound and movement.  

Please note the following in relation to the biodiversity and safety of those using the site:

• The biodiversity of the park must be protected, it will not be possible to nail/screw into living trees
• No overnight lighting in the park (any lighting would need to be turned off each evening after a certain time)
• It is not possible to install ‘in-stream’
• Artwork(s) will need to be robust for an outdoor location on the Wild Atlantic Way
• There are newly surfaced paths where the public can safely enjoy the park it is preferable that the artwork is accessible from here
• Donegal County Council will not be in a position to assist if anything does get damaged by the public.

To apply please send

1. CV with contact details
2. A proposal outlining the work proposed, how it relates to the site and how it will be achieved (500 words max)
3. Examples of previous works (links to website/images/links to moving image)
