The City of Austin Economic Development Department's Art in Public Places (AIPP) program seeks to commission works of art of redeeming quality that advance public understanding of visual art and enhance the aesthetic quality of public places. This can be accomplished through the selection of a qualified artist or artist team who can innovatively and thoughtfully design within the context of the Brush Square project. Brush Square is located at 409 E 5th Street, Austin, Texas 78701. Artists with an understanding of the history of the site and the culture of Austin’s urban downtown are encouraged to apply.
