At its meeting of October 19, 2011, the Art in Public Places Commission concurred to curate
the 2013/2014 El Paseo Invitational Exhibition, and a subcommittee was selected to review the
proposals and select eighteen sculptures and alternates to present to the Commission for
placement in the Exhibition. The City Council approved the request to issue a call for
proposals for the Exhibition at its November 10, 2011 meeting.
The subcommittee met to review the fifty-five applications that were submitted and selected
eighteen sculptures for the median with two alternates. At its meeting of March 21, 2012, the
Art in Public Places Commission reviewed the subcommittee's selections and unanimously
approved the artworks and alternates for the 2013/2014 El Paseo Invitational Exhibition.
Background
The El Paseo Invitational Exhibition was developed in 1996 by the Art in Public Places
Subcommittee to help draw people to El Paseo. Art galleries in the Coachella Valley are
encouraged to apply, but the competition is open to artists nationwide. The Exhibition changes
every two years and is located on the median of El Paseo between Highway 74 and Portola.
