Contemporary Redesign of Historic Performance Space at Artist Retreat Ragdale — the nationally acclaimed artists’ residency program in Lake Forest, Illinois — invites architects, designers and artists to apply for the opportunity to design, build, and exhibit the 2016 Ragdale Ring, a temporary outdoor theatre to house summer concerts, performances, and events. Ragdale seeks proposals for a full-scale project and installation that consider contemporary, fanciful and functional interpretations of the original Ragdale Ring, designed by architect Howard Van Doren Shaw in 1912 as a garden theatre.
In 2013, Ragdale launched an international competition to reinterpret Shaw’s Ring as a temporary, experimental environment. This annual competition provides artists, architects, and designers with the unique opportunity to devise and construct a performance venue and gathering place on the historic Ragdale campus. Each year, we seek inventive, large-scale submissions that explore intersections of architecture, sculpture, landscape, design, public art, and performance disciplines. The winning design team receives a production grant and a design-build residency for a team of up to eight people.
A jury of architects, artists and arts administrators will select a single project to realize at full scale on the Ragdale grounds.
Key dates:
February 19: Deadline for submissions
March 11: Notification of winning team
March/April: Off-site Production
May 23 – June 10: Design/Build residency
June 10: Ragdale Ring complete
Location: Ragdale: 1260 N. Green Bay Road, Lake Forest, Illinois 60045
Production grant: The recipient will receive a $15,000 production grant to fund the project.
