Call for Artists for 2 Permanent Art Installations at the
Santa Ana Veterans Village

ArtsOC has issued a call for artist submissions for the selection and permanent placement of art at the Santa Ana Veterans Village now under construction. Work #1 will be placed in front of the building and must be designed to function as a bicycle rack. The site for Work #2 is larger and is located in the building's courtyard. Artists are invited to submit proposals for either or both of these opportunities. Santa Ana Veterans Village is a project of Jamboree Housing, an Orange County-based nonprofit developer of affordable housing. ArtsOC has been contracted by Jamboree Housing to manage the artists selection process and installation.

"Tony DeLap, the Orange County artist who helped to define West Coast minimalism through his meticulous exploration of the intersection of sculpture and painting, has died." (LA Times) He was 91. DeLap was the very first Professor of Art hired at University of California, Irvine in 1965, and remained on the faculty until 1991. In 2018, Laguna Art Museum presented a retrospective exhibition of his work, which is in the collections of museums around the world. More here.
