Call for Artists: LoveU Buffalo Art Park

Arts Services Inc. of Western New York (ASI), on behalf of Assemblymember Jon D. Rivera’s Office and in partnership with the River Rock Community Coalition, invites experienced sculptors, sculptural fabricators, or artist groups to submit proposals for a permanent large-scale outdoor sculpture at the LoveU Buffalo Art Park in Buffalo’s historic Black Rock neighborhood.

The selected artist or artist team will design and fabricate a signature sculpture that will serve as the focal point of the park. The work should reflect the resilience of the Black Rock community and align with the park’s mission to promote healing, hope, and empowerment through the arts. Artists are asked to propose a phoenix-inspired design that symbolizes renewal and the power to rise from adversity.

Artists may apply individually or as collaborative teams.
