public art installation at north tahoe regional park
The North Tahoe Public Utility District (NTPUD), in partnership with the North Tahoe Community Alliance, the Tahoe Fund, North Tahoe Arts, and the Arts Council of Placer County, proudly announce a Call to Artists for a permanent public art installation at the North Tahoe Regional Park in Tahoe Vista, California.
Artists and artist teams are invited to submit qualifications and concept proposals for a large-scale, unique outdoor art piece to be installed in the recently completed Community Gathering Space in the North Tahoe Regional Park (6600 Donner Road, Tahoe Vista).
Artists are encouraged to propose work that responds to one or more of the following project themes:
Connection to Place – North Lake Tahoe’s natural environment, seasons, landscapes, and sense of place.
Community Gathering – Shared experiences, recreation, wellness, and community identity.
Stewardship & Sustainability – Environmental care, destination stewardship, and respect for the Lake Tahoe Basin.
Cultural Heritage – Recognition of regional history, including Indigenous and contemporary narratives.
The selected artwork(s) should be welcoming, engaging, and appropriate for a highly visible public park setting. Interactive, kinetic, and/or interpretive elements are encouraged, provided they are safe for the public. Artwork could also provide a fun physical, emotional, playful experience that involves the senses.
