2 EVENT & LOCATION Bulladora is an outdoor festival in the heart of Dallas that celebrates music, art, innovation and adventure. Boutique in nature, we are an event that focuses on the details and seeks the highest quality of everything we do. From an intriguing environment to sense-stimulating entertainment, our mission is to craft a truly special experience for the community and establish a premiere destination festival in Dallas. As the first event of its kind in Dallas, we aim to propel the thriving cultural scene by bringing in global touring musicians, while also partnering with the creatives and businesses that make this city great. Our location in Reverchon Park is a unique setting that provides a wealth of opportunities for artistic installations. A huge part of Bulladora involves working with local artists to create pieces for display before, during, and after the festival. PROJECT INTENT Bulladora Music Experience is founded on two basic principles: progressive thinking and having as much fun as humanly possible. As such, we re looking for provocative, experimental, eccentric, and lighthearted works of art that stir curiosity and wonder. Bulladora has a unique back story that involves a quirky little creature we call the Pugasus. You re welcome to reference the Tale of the Pugasus and use her as an inspirational muse. Pieces in a variety of media and forms are encouraged, but must take into consideration the high amount of pedestrian traffic and weather. We will do as much as possible to protect your pieces, but with the scale of this event Bulladora assumes no responsibility for the damage of any artwork. Please refer to page 4 for a detailed list of our desired projects. ELIGIBILITY Entries from all levels of experience are accepted and selection is based on artistic excellence. You may apply for as many different projects as you wish. Both existing pieces and new concepts are welcome. Artist teams are eligible to apply, including teams of artists from multiple disciplines. Must be willing to provide transportation and installation of artwork. PAGE 2
