The grant supports the creation of two site-specific\u00a0public artworks by New York City-based artists at designated locations within Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Each selected artist will receive an award of $10,000. The deadline for proposals is\u00a0Sunday, April 5, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The grant is designed to bring attention and visitors to areas of the park beyond its central core. One artist will present their work at David Dinkins Circle; the second artist may select from a range of park entrances and open lawn areas, including sites along Meridian Road and Meadow Lake Road, the Roosevelt Avenue Entrance, entrances on 111th Street, the College Point Boulevard Entrance, the Corona Avenue Entrance, and the lawns around Meadow Lake.\u00a0Additional\u00a0locations may also be considered. Artists are strongly encouraged to visit these areas of Flushing Meadows Corona Park before\u00a0submitting\u00a0a proposal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The grant is open to New York City-based artists, with preference given to applicants who live or work in Queens. Eligible artists are those at an early or mid-stage of their career with specialized training in their field and a modest independent body of work. Proposals for previously exhibited sculptures will not be accepted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artworks will be installed in October 2026 and will remain on view for up to one year. Grant recipients will be selected by a committee of art professionals, NYC Parks representatives, and community members, and will be evaluated on artistic and creative merit, responsiveness to the surrounding community, and suitability to the site. Priority will be given to proposals that respond directly to the park and its neighborhood. NYC Parks will\u00a0assist\u00a0awarded artists with\u00a0logistics\u00a0including permitting and site specifications.<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proposals must be\u00a0submitted\u00a0as a single PDF by Sunday, April 5, 2026, to NYC Parks Art &amp; Antiquities at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thecitylife.org\/2026\/03\/25\/applications-to-bring-bold-new-public-art-to-flushing-meadows-corona-park-now-open\/mailto:artandantiquities@parks.nyc.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">artandantiquities@parks.nyc.gov<\/a>\u00a0with \u201cAlliance for Flushing Meadows Grant\u201d in the subject line.
