2027 Chain of Parks Art Festival

Thank you for your interest in participating in the Chain of Parks Art Festival! Please be sure to click "Show More" to read over all the key information before applying, as we have done our best to answer all of your questions before you submit your application! Make sure to share this information with your team.  

If your non-profit organization isn't primarily focused on local heritage/ culture education, please review the Community Partner application. It might be a better fit for your organization.

The Children's Park (located in Randolph Park) is one of the most popular, family-friendly sections of the Festival! This interactive area is designed for thousands of kids to run, play, learn, and use their hands to create their own works of art! Our goal is to provide a free, fun, and educational area where children can get excited about art, while also helping organizations that focus on the arts and local heritage in our community gain visibility through our 45,000+ visitors.

This decorated area is comprised of Pop-Up Art Studios, Local Culture tents, Pop-up Entertainers, Interactive Art Vendors, and the historical Jacques Le Moyne Encampment with live historical reenactments! The Children's Park is a shady, sloped area for families to rest, get creative, enjoy snack foods, sing along to live entertainment, experiment with chalk art, and more! 

WHAT IS A LOCAL CULTURE TENT?

We want visitors to learn about the diverse groups who have made an impact on the history and cultural landscape of our beautiful city! This program is focused on showcasing local and regional heritage groups who can provide educational information and activities for people of all ages.

Each tent should be decorated to represent your culture, offer free educational materials, and include an interactive activity of some kind. The more vibrant your presentation is, the more fun and engaging the experience is for everyone! We also welcome participants to read stories and perform cultural dances/ skits in the Children's Park Entertainment Tent.

History is complicated, so please be mindful that your booth and talking points are informative, respectful, and inclusive. 

In fairness to our artists and vendors, we do not allow the selling of any products or charging for any services. This is not an appropriate venue for soliciting money or fundraising. However, branded decor, free swag, and handout information are all welcome!

CALL-TO-ARTISTS!

UPCYCLED GARDEN SCULPTURE DESIGN PROPOSALS.

Please be sure to click "Show More" to read over all of the key information before applying, as we have done our best to answer all your questions before you submit your application! 

WHAT IS THE PROJECT?

Following the success of the 2026 Garden Guardian exhibit and auction, we are bringing the project back in 2027 to establish it as an annual Festival tradition. A Garden Guardian is more than a sculpture; it’s a whimsical protector of green spaces, a playful sentinel meant to spark joy and curiosity. Your design can be a mythical creature, a beloved animal, an anthropomorphic figure, a pillar, or anything in between. 

We will select up to 10 local and regional artists to create eco-friendly garden sculptures from upcycled materials. These sculptures will be displayed at LeMoyne Arts Gardens from March 16 - April 16, 2027. All sculptures will be moved to the Festival for a concluding silent auction on April 17 & 18, 2027, with all proceeds benefiting LeMoyne Arts to support year-round programming and art education.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

The jury is looking for whimsical, creative, and sustainable creations. Your design should be a true example of upcycling, with a focus on utilizing at least 70% upcycled materials to support our Greening efforts. We are seeking well-constructed, artisan pieces that will delight and inspire our viewers.

Important: This sculpture must be built to last. Your final piece will be displayed outdoors for a month and will be taken home by the auction winner to continue its life as yard art. Therefore, it must be able to withstand Florida's climate and stay both intact and upright.

Not a sculptor? Feel free to join forces to bring your artistic vision to life! If you're working with a partner or small group, just be sure to add all their information to the application so we can give them proper credit.

PAYMENT DETAILS & BENEFITS:

Each accepted sculpture is considered a donation for the silent auction. As a thank you, artists will receive a $150 stipend upon delivery of the completed sculpture to help cover material costs. As a participant, you will also receive extensive marketing exposure as a featured artist in the public exhibit and qualify for a chance to win the $100 People's Choice Award (voting concludes at the Festival).

ABOUT THE APPLICATION:

• This application is for design proposals only. You do not need a finished piece until March 12. We encourage you to submit multiple design concepts for our review committee to evaluate. 
• You may continue to edit your application until the deadline. Just make sure you save your login information and progress. Once you are ready, click “Submit”, and you will receive an automatic confirmation email (check your junk folder). If you don't see an email, we did not receive your application. 
• If you are accepted but decide you cannot complete your sculpture, please let powell@lemoyne.org know as soon as possible so that a waitlisted artist can be invited to participate instead.  
• Email support@eventeny.com­­ if you run into Eventeny-related application errors/ questions.
• This is an electronic agreement. By applying, you are validating and approving this agreement electronically. 

YOUR APPLICATION MUST INCLUDE: 

• Design Proposal: Help the jury understand your vision! A clear and detailed proposal helps us ensure your concept aligns with the project's standards before you invest significant time and resources into a sculpture. Please include the following in your application:
  • Sketch
  • Inspirational images 
  • Examples of your work
  • The materials you plan to use/ descriptive explanation of your idea(s).

  • This is required! We require this check-in for our social media content and to ensure your piece is on track. Avoid procrastination and get feedback so we have time to pivot if needed. Send via Eventeny's message system or email to Powell@Lemoyne.org
• Completed Sculpture Drop-off at LeMoyne Arts: Friday, March 12, between 9:30am-1:30pm (you must sign a drop-off form in person to collect your check). A Group photo of the sculptures will be taken that afternoon before installation.

PERFORMANCE SPACES & KEY DETAILS:

The Main Stage: Our Main Stage is a sunny, central focal point of the Festival, located in the Center Court on Calhoun St., and features a variety of local bands, dance troupes, and other crowd-pleasing local performing arts groups. Leon County student performance groups and larger bands that require sound support will be prioritized for this area. Not ideal for solo/ duo performers. 

• This section includes the City's Showmobile and a professional sound engineer. The Festival provides the sound system, soundboard operator, and plug-ins for a maximum of 12 inputs. The stage is approximately 32’ wide and 14’ deep.
• Confirmed performers will be asked to complete a Stage Plot Form showing the placement of plug-ins and equipment.
• Your load-in and load-out answers in this application will impact your placement in the schedule. Set times range from 15 minutes to 1 hour. 
• Performers will select either a $150 performance honorarium (per group, no matter the size), OR, a drink ticket for the Main Bar or a Fina Italian Ice voucher (1 for each performer). 
• The Festival will provide a 10x10 shade tent (to the left of the stage) with an Igloo cooler of ice water for you to refill your reusable water bottles, a few snacks, a table, and 6 chairs for you to rest before your set. We will not have extra cups or plastic water bottles. 
• 4-6 temporary parking passes behind the Main Stage for load-in and load-out. You must relocate your car after your set for the next performer. 

The Children’s Park (Randolph Park): This is the perfect spot for interactive, kid-friendly solo/ duo acts, student groups, storytellers, educational and cultural demonstrations, performance artists, etc. 

• You will have access to LeMoyne’s basic mic and amp. We do not have professional sound support in this area; all performers need to be self-sufficient in terms of equipment / load-in and load-out. 
• Be prepared for an uneven, grassy, sloped surface. The Festival will provide a 10x10 decorated tent, a basic power strip, 2-5 chairs, 1 table, and an area rug.
