arroyo arts collective presents imaginar
a virtual botanical garden of the imagination
GOING LIVE Saturday, august 15, 2020
Artist Deadline is tuesday, july 21, 2020!
“In the Garden of Memory, in the Palace of Dreams… that is where
you and I shall meet.”
– Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
After the 1992 Los Angeles civil uprising, community volunteers organized by artist Tricia
Ward and ARTSCorp LA transformed a forsaken lot on Avenue 57 in Highland Park into La
Tierra de la Culebra, an art park for local youths and residents to relax and mingle. Together
they also constructed a 500-foot serpent made from stone, rubble, and piqué tiles, which
symbolized the central goals of the art park: community strength and regeneration after
difficult times. In more recent years the Arroyo Arts Collective has become a steward of the
Art Park and all it stands for.
In honor and celebration of this history, and with respect to social distancing as the new
normal, artist Yeu Q Nguyen and the Arroyo Arts Collective are seeking a community of
artists to create additional 3D object assets for Imaginar, a virtual meeting space created by
Nguyen based on La Tierra de la Culebra Art Park. The iconic mosaic serpent will remain
unchanged; however we are looking for 3D landscape features that inspire wonder and
mystery. Therefore, we are especially interested in 3D assets that have expressive, abstract,
interpretative artistic styles and designing concepts with serious wow factor. Be they trees,
faunas, animals, fountains, art installations, park benches, lighting fixtures… let your
imagination roam free!
Imaginar will go live on August 15, 2020. Deadline to submit your 3D assets is July 21,
2020. Each selected artist will receive an honorary stipend of $75 for their contribution. The
project is open for everyone. Artists who do not have extensive experience in 3D are
encouraged to apply. Tutorials to get your started will be made available on the Arroyo Arts
Collective’s YouTube Channel in the coming weeks.
Artists are encouraged to visit and explore the park which is located at:
240 South Avenue 57, Los Angeles, CA 90042.
Email anytime through July 21st:
arroyoartscollective@gmail.com
Subject Line: Imaginar Submissions
∗ Your name + website where we view your portfolio
∗ High-res JPG images of the 3D assets you’re submitting
∗ Links to view and download your 3D assets in .OBJ and .glTF format
For Questions or More Information – Email: info@arroyoartscollective.org
Imaginar is made possible in part through the generous support of the Department of
Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles.

Save the date! Old Pasadena Management District announces the third annual BoldPas: A Day of Art & Play in Old Pasadena in the commercial and historic heart of Pasadena, California – Old Pasadena.
The free, one-day event encourages the community to experience art in myriad ways within the district’s unique downtown alleyways and public spaces. The selected temporary art installations are bold – in color, scale, materials, and concept. Many of them incorporate a component of interactivity – come play with the art!
The 2017 and 2018 events filled the district with fantastic community spirit, bright color, a sense of local pride, and a wide range of attendees that included hip millennials, young families, eco-urban enthusiasts, and seasoned art lovers. In 2019, visitors will once again have the opportunity to meet selected and commissioned artists who remain on site throughout the event to engage with the public. Local businesses will entice visitors with storefronts decorated in surprising ways.
The 2019 Call for Submissions has been released. Artists in the greater Los Angeles area are encouraged to submit proposals by March 15, 2019 for consideration; six of the 12 event installations will be selected from this call. Find the Call for Submissions, photos, inspiration boards, and more on the event website: www.oldpasadena.org/boldpas.
