Description

Art in Odd Places (AiOP) is pleased to announce Art in Odd Places (AiOP) 2025: VOICE / West Hollywood, the twentieth edition of the iconic public visual and performance art festival. Presented by the City of West Hollywood, AiOP 2025: VOICE is curated by Deborah Oliver and will take place in WeHo's Plummer Park, West Hollywood Park, and on Sunset Plaza July 25, 26, and 27, 2025. What is voice? Is it spoken or heard? Visible or subliminal? Is it seen in the way we dress, move, or create? Is it silent yet present in our choices, the communities we form, and the ways we engage with the world? How do we find our voice in times of division? What happens when we amplify it? What happens when we don’t? This year’s festival asks artists to consider and explore the many ways voices resonate in public spaces. Inspired by West Hollywood’s legacy as a hub for activism and culture, the festival asks: How can art express the complexity of our times? Can art help us find resonance and connection amidst disconnection? We invite individual and collaborative artists to propose projects for this outdoor public visual and performance art festival. We welcome projects that use installations, actions, gestures, and sound to reflect on the power of voice. We encourage artists to create spaces where audiences can listen, participate, and reflect—spaces that make complexity visible and foster dialogue.
