Description

The Johnson County Park & Recreation District (JCPRD) Public Art Program is interested in commissioning an artist or artist team to create a site-specific, temporary art installation at the entrance of Theatre in the Park, located within Shawnee Mission Park, at 7710 Renner Road, Shawnee, KS 66218. The installation will be unveiled during the opening night of Theatre in the Park’s outdoor season in late May 2025 and be on display through fall of 2026. The artist will also be asked to develop and lead one community engagement activity or educational program, at no cost to members of the public, related to the artwork development process or the artwork itself. Theatre in the Park (TIP) is located on 10 acres in the northeast corner of Shawnee Mission Park and is one of the country’s largest outdoor community theatres.
