Call for Qualifications - Public Art Sculptural Piece
Deadline: January 19, 2022
Entry Fee: None
Open to: Any Artist with public art experience.
Dates: Installation: End of April
Contact: niki kinkade, niki@artcenterky.org
Location: Danville
Additional Information: The Art Center of the Bluegrass is facilitating a Request for Qualifications on behalf of the City of Danville for a public art sculpture. As part of the new 6-million-dollar fire station construction project, funds have been allocated for a public art piece to be featured in the First Responders Memorial Plaza in front of the new facility.
The piece will be a memorial to the victims of 9/11 and will incorporate a 13“x 13” metal artifact from the World Trade Center site of 9/11. The artist can choose how to incorporate the artifact into their work. The Plaza will be a tribute to the service and sacrifice of first responders lost in the line of duty, both locally and in the aftermath of 9/11.
The project budget is up to $19,000, depending on the artist’s own budget for the project. This amount is all inclusive of all costs associated with the artifact installation, including design, planning, fabrication, installation, travel, taxes, photographic documentation, and completion of the project. The City will assist with electric, lighting, and installation logistics.
The selection committee seeks artists with public art experience to respond to the Request for Qualifications using the form below. Up to 3 artists will be chosen and paid a $500 stipend to complete site-specific designs. One of the 3 artists will be chosen for the final project.
For full project details, including images of the artifact and schematics of the Memorial Plaza, please visit the link provided.
