Call for Artists: Crystal City

The Crystal City Business Improvement District (BID) in partnership with Arena Stage is introducing a temporary, outdoor art exhibit that pays homage to the great scientific mind of R. Buckminster Fuller and his creation of the geodesic dome.

“Bucky-Art“ celebrates Arena Stage’s spring production of R. Buckminster Fuller: THE HISTORY (and Mystery) OF THE UNIVERSE which runs May 28 – July 4, 2010. The exhibition will open April 1, 2010, and will last throughout the summer.

Deadline for entries is January 15th.

To kick off the project, the Crystal City BID has announced a call for artists – whether Bucky fans or proponents of his green principles – and expects to launch the statues on April 1, 2010. Interested artists should visit www.crystalcity.org to learn more and download the formal application.
