DESIGN A MINIATURE GOLF HOLE FOR THE PUTTING LOT
The Putting Lot will be a nine-hole miniature golf course occupying a vacant lot in Brooklyn for the summer of 2009. The site will include the course, a snack-shack, and public seating. Recreation and fun will be the first priority, but visitors will also be able to experience putt putt as a means for embodying, moving through, and actively engaging with art and ideas of urban sustainability.

* Participants will design a miniature golf hole that explores the concept of urban sustainability.
* Participants will be given an area of approximately 200 ft2 and may choose the dimensions of their footprint.
* Stipends of up to $500 will be available for materials. The Putting Lot encourages participants to incorporate the theme of urban sustainability in their construction methods by re-appropriating used and reclaimed materials.
* Participants will construct and install their design. Some additional labor will be available.
* The mini-golf holes must be able to endure outdoor exposure for the duration of the summer.
