How can I get involved in Chelita as a visual artist?
Chelita is an event like no other where art and Micheladas work in perfect harmony!
Happening July 13th, 2024 at Heritage Square 715 S A St
As arts patrons and supporters, we at OPAC are excited to get the chance to commission 5 talented artists to work on an interactive installation for Chelita attendees to enjoy, take pictures of/with and discover new artists in the community.
We are offering (5) 10x10x15 spaces for you as an artist to create your wildest family-friendly ideas. It will be a space where you will be able to make LARGE art and get creative.
We will be awarding 5 commissions worth between $200-$300 to the applicant we feel best fit the vision for Chelita.
With that said, we will have more opportunities for you to showcase your work at Chelita!
Throughout Heritage Square, there are smaller areas that will need some artistic love ranging from 2ft x 2ft sections to odd corners and sidewalks. For those applicants that do not get commissioned for the large installation, we will be selecting a few more and offering these spaces. These spaces will be at the artist's expense and are great for exposure to the community.
If you are interested in applying, please fill out our next set of questions!
