PUBLIC ART IN THE PARK – USA
 | Deadline: February 8, 2013 This Call for Entries is limited to 500 entrants.
A City Committee for the Arts (Massachusetts) is seeking professional artist for 3 new public art commissions. The opportunity to compete for this project is open to all professional artists and/or design teams/professionals, age 18 or older, residing in the United States. Experience with public art projects is preferred, but not absolute. The City encourages artists working in all creative arts to apply. There are no media restrictions: all media and art forms will be considered.
No media restrictions have been established in order to ensure maximum creativity for participating artists. However, standard durability, safety and minimal maintenance needs are required as necessary. For temporary artwork ease of installation and removal should be considered. The public art projects will become part of the identity of the City and contribute to a collection of outstanding public art already in the City.
The total project budget is 47,000 usd: The city will award winning submissions with the following commissions: 20,000 usd for one permanent project; two additional prizes will be awarded totaling 27,000usd, at least one of which must be temporary. The minimum project budget is 7,500usd. This flexibility is intended to encourage artists to consider a range of size and scope of projects.
Request for Proposal will be evaluated by a two-stage process administered by the Committee. Stage One will short list at least nine semi-finalists Stage Two will produce the three finalists who will be awarded the commissions.
Selection of a theme and/or content or subject matter for each art project is left to the discretion of each artist. Potential projects may reflect the historic, environmental, cultural, functional, urban, coastal, design, and aesthetic aspects of the City and its waterfront. Enter in Competitions Details |
