Call for Proposals | The Ragdale Ring

INDRODUCTION

Ragdale invites architects and designers to apply for a design build studio residency leading to the installation of a temporary, outdoor performance venue.

We are seeking inventive, site-responsive, large-scale submissions that explore intersections of architecture, sculpture, landscape, public art, and performance disciplines. Proposals that consider contemporary, fanciful, and functional interpretations of the original Ragdale Ring, designed by architect Howard Van Doren Shaw in 1912 as an outdoor garden theatre, are encouraged (see Shaw’s design below).
