Artists will have until Nov. 1 to submit proposals for the Greenwood Art Project. Applications and complete information regarding submissions can be found at greenwoodartproject.org.

Lowe will also facilitate four workshops to help interested participants get a better understanding of what the Greenwood Art Project hopes to accomplish. The workshops are scheduled for Sept. 20-21 and Oct. 10-11, at locations that will be announced at a later date.

Submissions will be assessed by a panel of arts professionals and city representatives, with the final selections made by April 2020. Work on the projects should begin in May 2020.

“We’re looking for creativity from unexpected places,” Lowe said. “People think of public art and think it has to be a mural, or it has to be a sculpture. But that’s not the case.”

Lowe is best known for Project Row Houses, which transforms blocks of abandoned houses in a Houston neighborhood into a center for community and art.

He spoke of a theater project in Houston, in which a performer enacted scenes from the Camp Logan Riots along the four-mile stretch of land where the rioting took place in 1917.
