2026 art on the outside temporary art project proposals

The City of West Hollywood’s Art on the Outside (AOTO) program funds the presentation of free and publicly accessible artworks at city-owned parks and facilities. Artworks exhibited through this program typically include sculpture, murals, digital screen-based artwork, and performance art. Most exhibitions remain on display for a duration of 6 months to 3 years, depending on the concept, construction, and location of the approved artwork.

The City of West Hollywood’s Arts Division hosts an annual open call inviting artists, curators and arts organizations to submit proposals for temporary public art projects to be exhibited at select pre-approved public locations throughout the City. The Open Call does not specify a particular curatorial theme for proposals in the interest of soliciting the most diverse representation of projects possible.
