Clarksville, TN — The Montgomery County Health Council, in partnership with RePlant Clarksville and the Clarksville Arts & Heritage Council, is inviting artists and artist teams to submit concepts for a public-art treatment at the pedestrian crossing at the Crossland Avenue entrance to Veterans Plaza.
Applications will be accepted through Monday, September 14th. Successful proposals will include ideas for how the artist will work alongside community volunteers to complete the final project, making collaboration a central part of the design.
The crosswalk artwork is part of Clarksville Walks, a project funded through a $25,000 AARP Community Challenge grant supported by Toyota. Organizers aim to use public art to enhance the existing pedestrian crossing, increase its visibility, encourage drivers entering the parking area to slow down and pay attention, and create a welcoming gateway into Veterans Plaza.
The crosswalk is one piece of a larger set of improvements the grant will fund along the Crossland Corridor, stretching from Pageant Lane to Richardson Street.
Artists interested in project requirements and submission details can apply through the online application portal at https://forms.gle/hucAb5v3eRXjfEb76.
