Got an exhibitionist streak? No, this isn't Sordid Secret II, it's a call for art!

The Public Art Fund is accepting applications for In the Public Realm 2011, a program that provides selected artists the opportunity to develop proposals for public art work, consult with Public Art Fund to shape their projects, and ultimately realize their work in one of New York City's five boroughs. Artists are encouraged to submit an application that considers how to translate his or her specific studio practice and interests into a new public artwork. Previous experience working in public spaces is not necessary.

Public Art Fund is New York's leading presenter of artists' projects, new commissions, installations, and exhibitions in public spaces. By bringing artworks outside the traditional context of museums and galleries, the Public Art Fund provides a unique platform for an unparalleled encounter with the art of our time.
