The City of Amarillo (COA) Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) is issuing a call for artists.
PARD is partnering with the National Fitness Campaign (NFC) to install a Fitness Court in John Ward Memorial Park, 1100 Wallace Boulevard. As part of this project, COA is looking for digital artwork to be featured on the Fitness Court’s multipurpose training wall.
“We are excited about this partnership with the National Fitness Campaign,” said PARD
Beautification and Public Arts Coordinator Cindy Perez. “The Fitness Court will be a great addition to the park, and we will also be able to showcase great Amarillo art.”
PARD will be responsible for the cost of printing and installing the artwork and will require the local artist to attend the ribbon cutting and launch celebration when the Fitness Court opens to the public later this summer. Day and time will be announced.
Eligible applicants must live in Amarillo and be at least 14 years old.
