OVERVIEW
The Cultural Center Crosswalks Project will be located at SE 1st Ave. connecting City Hall to the Cultural Center. The artistic scope of work is to develop and install three crosswalk designs. This is a community engagement project and the selected artist(s) will work with residents/volunteers to install the artwork. The artwork lifespan of the project is predicted to be five years. This project is part of the NEA Grant awarded to the City in 2017.

THEME & REQUIREMENTS
This is a community engagement project and the selected artist(s) will work with residents/volunteers to install the artwork. The purpose of this project is to not only beautify the streets and connect City Hall and the Cultural Center, but also to strengthen ties within the community and give them a sense of pride and ownership to the finished artwork.

The crosswalk designs should be an abstract, repeating pattern that is easily translated into a stencil. The shapes must be solid colors, no gradients. The Crosswalks shoud convey a sense of place and utilize easy design elements with the purpose of refreshing the colors in the future, if need be. Designs should be simple and beautiful. Specific paint must be used. Since this is an outdoor floor mural, the artist must use paint that can stand up to not only weather wear and tear but car traffic as well.

This project is functional public art and will serve the purpose of providing a safe and beautiful street enhancement.

PROJECT LOCATION
The location for the crosswalks will be on SE 1st Ave. connecting City Hall and the Cultural Arts Center. There will be three crosswalks in total: one larger crosswalk (43’ by 35’) in between two smaller crosswalks (68’ x 10 ‘ and 32.5’ by 10’). Visit this website for details on locations, https://pbpublicart.com/assets/images/misc/Location.jpg

The City will assist with road closures during the installation and pressure clean the street area prior to design installation.

Call for Proposals: Alachua County Office of the Public Defender's new building is naked (Gainesville, FL)

The Alachua County Office of the Public Defender has recently completed construction of their new facility located at 151 SW 2nd Avenue in Gainesville Florida. (Exhibit A - location map) It is the hope that this project will enhance the visual quality of the area for users of the building and the general public using SW 2nd Avenue near Main Street and the County Courthouse. Gainesville’s downtown is a combination of a college town with emerging innovation technology commercial centers. The downtown area also has many cultural attributes and activities including art galleries, permanent public art featuring internationally recognized muralists, two nationally recognized street art festivals each year, and monthly art walks. It is the hope that this project and others similar to it will further enhance the cultural vitality of the downtown area.

CITY OF GAINESVILLE/ALACHUA COUNTY ART IN PUBLIC PLACES TRUST
The APPT is a citizen advisory board appointed by the City of Gainesville and Alachua County to manage and oversee the purchase of public art. These projects are funded from a percentage of construction costs of government facilities. The APPT is partnering with the Alachua County Public Defender’s Office to select works for installation. Members of the Alachua County Public Defender’s Office will serve as temporary Trust members for the duration of the project.

LOCATION
There are two exterior walls that would serve well for public art installations. One is a contiguous 3-paneled masonry wall located on the south of the entrance courtyard (Exhibit B Dimensions of the Contiguous Courtyard Walls) and another is the masonry wall adjacent to the building’s main entry and area immediately in front of it (Exhibit C Dimensions of the Entrance Wall Adjacent Entry) (Exhibit D Photographs of both locations).

This call is open to all artists and artists teams, regardless of location, but regional artists are strongly encouraged to participate and will be awarded additional points in the selection process. Regional artists are defined as artists living within a 100 mile radius of Gainesville city limits.

Artists or artist teams are asked to propose works for one or both of the locations. The proposal may include complimentary works that can be installed on both sites. The proposals must be suitable to the scale of pedestrians as well as slower speed traffic traveling along SW 2nd Avenue. The sites are limited in space and heavy traffic is expected, so the Trust will consider proposals that do not impede circulation of the space.

The works should be created of material appropriate to an outdoor environment, must be of suitable construction that will last with minimal maintenance and be appropriate for public viewing. Gainesville, Florida is hot and humid with intense sun and seasonal heavy rain in the summer and the temperature can be in the teens in the winter. Problems with rust and fading should be avoided. Resistance to hurricane force winds is important. The exterior sites for the project will be well traversed and must be of materials that are vandal resistant. Projects must also consider the safety of pedestrians.

Pieces will be selected based on these criteria and at the discretion of the Art in Public Places Trust.

BUDGET
The total project budget for services rendered will include $25,000.00 that will be divided at the discretion of the Trust between the two sites. An honorarium of $500 will be paid to the project finalists to help defray travel or proposal development expenses. Site visitation in advance of the finalists’ presentations to the APPT is encouraged and it is recommended that finalists present in person.

DEADLINES AND IMPORTANT DATES
Monday, August 4, 2017, 5:00 PM — Artist will submit their proposals.

Wednesday, August 16, 2017 — Finalists will be selected and notified.

Wednesday, September 6, 2017 3:30-6:00 PM — Finalists or their representatives are invited to present site specific proposals at the proposal review meeting at the Historic Thomas Center.

Wednesday, September 15, 2017 — Selected artists will be notified and installations will begin.

Wednesday, December 6, 2017 — Art will be completely installed.

A detailed agenda with presentation times will follow as the meeting grows closer. If you are unable to attend the meeting, we can present a PowerPoint of your proposal with you included via Skype or by phone.

PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS
1. A current professional resume.

2. Your proposal(s) for the Alachua County Public Defender’s Office project, which must include the following:

  • Written description and concept of the work(s) and its intended relationship to the goals of the pieces set forth in this request.
  • Description of the medium, including all materials and the origin of the materials.
  • Description of the method of construction and installation.
  • Dimensions of the work.
  • Scale drawings and/or model of the sculpture (if model, include a photograph or sketch of the model) and installation details.
  • A projected timeline of completion and installation of work.

3. A detailed budget for your proposed artwork, including installation costs and liability insurance for yourself (and assistants, if any) during the installation. Your budget must also provide for publication quality photography of the completed work (to be submitted after installation), in the form of digital images on a CD, flash drive or sent electronically.

Artist proposals and support materials will be reviewed by the Gainesville/Alachua County Art in Public Places Trust Advisory Board selection committee. The selection committee consists of the APPT Advisory Board and Alachua County Public Defender’s Office project representatives (who serve as temporary members of the Trust).

Call for Proposals: Norfolk International Airport needs some crazy-amazing public art (Norfolk, VA)

The Norfolk Public Art Commission and the Airport Art Planning Committee
seek to commission an artist to design and create exterior artwork.

LOCATION/CONTEXT: Norfolk is the cultural, educational, medical and business center of the seven city Hampton Roads area. It is thriving with culture, history, diversity, festivals, attractions and entertainment and boasts the best shopping and dining experiences in the entire region.  The city is a vital confluence of commerce, water, city, rail, transportation, government and business all coming together.  Norfolk hosts the world’s largest naval base, one of the busiest international ports on the East Coast, and the region’s international airport.
      Norfolk International Airport is the major airport serving southeast Virginia and northeast North Carolina. Surrounded by water and garden, it is enhanced by the splendor of the neighboring Norfolk Botanical Garden, which creates a beautiful buffer zone between the airport and the outside world. The year-round beauty of the airport grounds has become a national role model for reconciling expanding air facilities with a delicate ecological sanctuary. It has one of the most beautiful air approaches of any city in the world. The recently renovated lobby and concourses are bright and modern with open views of the lush landscapes.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  The Public Art Planning Committee seeks an artist to design and create exterior artwork that will signal Norfolk as a friendly and welcoming city. The art should be site-specific, creatively stimulate thought and conversation, and be relevant to Norfolk. The perfect artwork will create a sense of arrival, originality and momentarily relieve the stresses of air travel. 

PROJECT SITE:  Exterior artwork should be experienced by the maximum number of airport patrons. There are a variety of potential artwork sites. A key location is at the main entrance on Norview Avenue and Azalea Garden Road and would be seen as travelers enter or exit the airport grounds.  The park just outside the pedestrian bridge which runs between the main terminal and the baggage claim would also be a good location for artwork to be viewed both from indoors and outdoors.  Artwork would need to be approximately 20’ tall to be at eye level to the inside.

SIZE/MEDIA: The artwork should be large enough to be viewed by the maximum number of people entering and exiting the airport. Artwork must be fabricated in durable, permanent outdoor materials that are safe and easily maintained.

PROJECT FUNDS: Up to five finalists may be selected to be interviewed by the Public Art Planning Committee via Skype. The finalists are not expected to complete a design at this stage but will be interviewed about past work and creative process.  There will also be a preliminary discussion of the site. The committee reserves the right to select the final artist without a finalist process.
     The total budget for the completed, delivered and installed artwork is $200,000. This will cover artist’s honorarium, fabrication, materials, shipping and insurance, travel expenses necessary to complete the project, project plaque, final documentation and any incidental expenses.  The artist must hire a Virginia licensed contractor to install the artwork(s).  The selected artist may be asked to present a community educational workshop or presentation.
     Please note that a city contract will be issued with a design phase requiring review and approval by the Public Art Commission prior to fabrication.
     The selected artist must carry a Commercial General Liability Insurance Policy naming both the City of Norfolk and the Norfolk Airport Authority as additional insured, and must provide certificates of insurance to that effect guaranteeing thirty (30) days written notice before any changes to the policies become effective. The normal expected insurance requirement is three million dollars each occurrence.  Insurance can be purchased and certificate presented after the first payment is made.  If the artist employs anyone in connection with this work, the artist must carry a workers compensation insurance policy and an automobile liability insurance policy if appropriate. The artist shall also be responsible for assuring subcontractors, if there are any, meet the same insurance requirements.  

CALENDAR: This calendar is subject to change.
     May 4, 2017, 11:59 PM MDT time, submittal due date and time 
     June 2017, selection announced
     Spring 2018, completion of art

SELECTION CRITERIA AND AWARD CONSIDERATIONS: The commission will be awarded based on factors such as the aesthetic value, creativity and contemporary relevance of the proposed piece. The city will consider the diversity of beliefs and values and general standards of decency of the citizens who fund the commission and purchase public art for the City of Norfolk. The award will be made to the responsible offeror whose submission is determined in writing to be the most advantageous to the City taking into consideration the evaluation factors set forth in this Request for Proposal.
     The following criteria will be used in the proposal evaluation process:
          • Artistic merit (excellence, originality, creativity and innovative approaches) as evidenced by submitted materials
          • Professional artistic experience to fulfill the requirements of this project either in studio, educational, community, employment and/or art projects and the ability to undertake the design, creation and installation of the artwork
          • Appropriateness of materials, style and concepts in relation to this prospectus

Call for Proposals: Paper Presentations, Demonstrations or Workshops for the International Mokuhanga Conference (Hawaii)

Workshop and Demonstrations Guidelines:

  1. Demonstrations and workshops must be related to mokuhanga, Japanese woodcut printmaking.
  2. Each presentation will be limited to a maximum of two hours including translation.
  3. The presenter must bear the cost of required tools and materials. Work tables will be provided.
  4. Selected presenters are expected to pay the Conference Registration fee.

To make a proposal, please submit the following:  

  1. An outline of 300 words describing the workshop or demonstration in English or Japanese.
  2. Three digital images in JPEG format, maximum file size 1MB each
  3. Applicant’s biography (100 words)
  4. Applicant’s passport-size portrait in JPEG format

Paper Presentation Subjects:

  1. Mokuhanga History, Philosophy & Society

    This topic concerns the incorporation of mokuhanga in universities and community workshops, providing insight into cross-cultural issues. A study of this traditional Japanese technique can create a better understanding of Japanese history, society, gender and the concept of ‘the artist’ in Japanese culture.
     
  2. Bridge-building: Educational Mokuhanga Practice, International Exchange & Residency Programs

    For artists, educational practices that cultivate traditional and contemporary mokuhanga techniques can include information about international exchanges and residencies that expand horizons and inspire a younger generation of artists. While originating in Japan, mokuhanga can be seen as a vehicle for international exchange.
     
  3. Contemporary Mokuhanga

    Mokuhanga today has expanded across the world, and has changed to become more relevant to contemporary artists. This topic encompasses innovative artwork inspired by the technique or imagery of mokuhanga as well as work that expands mokuhanga into hybrid techniques such as installation and performance.
     
  4. Materials Suppliers

    The disappearance of traditional materials and their distribution network of small shops has created a challenge for artists looking for appropriate mokuhanga materials. Today new business relationships and new kinds of distribution networks are being created for tools, paper and other materials for the international community of mokuhanga artists.
     
  5. Art Markets and Mokuhanga

    This topic addresses the changing viewpoints of galleries and print collectors whose experiences have evolved within today’s global art market, and the challenge of adapting the art market to the interconnected world.
     
  6. Local Practice: Mokuhanga in Hawaii and the Pacific Coast

    An opportunity to look at the specific combination of cultural influences from East and West that have made Hawaii and the U.S. Pacific Coast so hospitable to a new vision of mokuhanga.
     
  7. Mokuhanga, the Environment & Social Changes

    The technique of mokuhanga perfectly suits the growing focus on safe environmental practices that reflect new notions about sustainability in an age of climate change. Today’s print shops and schools can benefit from the non-toxic aspects of 19th century mokuhanga technology to resolve concerns about toxicity. This topic also concerns the importance of preserving hand skills in the digital age, benefitting individual artists as well as the environment.
     
  8. Artist’s Presentations

    This topic offers an opportunity for individual artists to present their own innovative and conceptually based mokuhanga artwork. Both emerging and established artists are encouraged to share their unique approaches to mokuhanga in their contemporary practice.

Guidelines:

  1. Only papers that cover one of the above subjects are eligible.
  2. Papers must be in English or Japanese and under 3000 words. Papers may include images.
  3. The oral presentation of a paper will be limited to a maximum of 20 minutes.   Extensions will not be allowed.
  4. Presenters must submit the presentation’s full text in advance to be published in the Conference Proceedings book. The deadline for full text submissions will be announced after the presenters have been selected.
  5. Selected presenters are expected to pay the conference registration fee.

Checklist for Paper Presentation Proposals:

  1. A 300 word abstract of the conference paper in English or Japanese formatted in Word or equiavalent
  2. Presenter’s biography in 100 words
  3. Passport size photo of the presenter
  4. Entry Form for Submission:Paper Presentation

Call for Entry: Albany Park Branch Library needs public art video artists (Chicago, IL)

CITY OF CHICAGO: ALBANY PARK BRANCH LIBRARY

PUBLIC ART COMMISSION OPPORTUNITY
The City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) —working closely with the Chicago Public Library, Alderman Laurino and community stakeholders—invites professional artists working in video to submit their interest and qualifications for a public art commission at Albany Park Branch Library. Four artists/teams will be commissioned at $4500 each to create original video artworks for the City of Chicago’s Public Art Collection.

ELIGIBILITY
This opportunity is open internationally to professional artists working in video. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and may not be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program. Of the four videos commissioned, at least two will be awarded to Chicago-based artists.

BACKGROUND/BUDGET
In 1978, Chicago City Council unanimously approved a Percent for Art ordinance that requires 1.33 percent of municipal construction or renovation costs be allocated to commission public art at the site. Since that time, nearly 500 works have been commissioned as part of Chicago’s Public Art Collection, one of the largest municipal collections in the country. Because the Albany Park Branch Library was funded with Tax Increment Financing (TIF), the Percent for Art ordinance did not apply. However, due to the important impact of public art, Chicago Public Library identified $25,000 of bond funds available to commission public art at this site.

$18,000 will be used to fund four distinct video commissions at $4,500 each. The remaining $7,000 will be used to pay design fees to the artists invited to submit proposals during the semifinalist stage of the selection process, in addition to educational materials that will support public engagement with the commissioned artworks that result.

The City is not responsible for any expenses that a finalist may incur beyond the contracted amount of $4,500. For example, if a finalist resides out of town and intends to visit the site during the development of their commission, or for the launch celebration of the video program, there are not separate funds available to cover those costs. The total commission amount for a finalist is fixed at $4,500.

SITE
The Albany Park Branch Library—located at 3401 W. Foster Avenue in Chicago’s 39th Ward—primarily serves the North Park and Albany Park neighborhoods. The 16,500 square foot state-of-the-art building designed by Jackson Harlan LLC opened to the public in September 2014, replacing the original Albany Park Branch Library that opened at the same site in 1963. This branch features many community amenities including several computers with internet access, a YOUmedia center for teens, an interactive children’s area, and meeting rooms that welcome diverse community-driven activities such as bookbinding workshops, book club discussions, story times, seasonal gatherings, themed craft-making activities, legal clinics and more. Albany Park is one of Chicago’s most ethnically diverse neighborhoods and the library has been an important part of the community for over 50 years.

SCOPE
The site’s lobby prominently features a four-panel Planar Clarity Matrix LCD Video Wall System to which there are sightlines throughout the branch. The commissioned videos are intended to contribute a depth of experience for visitors to the branch, enhancing a sense of place by meaningfully intersecting the culture of the neighborhood. Values that stakeholders have expressed as vitally important to the Albany Park community include diversity, immigration, creativity, lifelong learning, and the natural environment. Given that the branch is a family friendly site welcoming intergenerational visitors, content should be suitable for all ages. Applications for this competitive opportunity will be reviewed based on the originality of applicant’s stated approach, their responsiveness to the site, and the strength of their previous video work.

Applicants from the local area are encouraged to visit the site before submitting their application materials. For those applicants who are unable to visit the site, teens engaged in the library’s YOUmedia program have created a short video tour > YOUmedia teens’ video tour of the site.

Additional links applicants may wish to explore:

·        Chicago Public Library - Albany Park Branch

·        Public Building Commission of Chicago - Albany Park Branch Library

·        Alderman Laurino, City of Chicago Ward 39

TECHNICAL DETAILS
The commissions need to be silent, single-channel files that do not require any special software or hardware to screen optimally. If desired by a commissioned artist/team, a video may be edited to uniquely activate the four panels that distinctly comprise the single plane of the video wall via a single channel. Please consult the specifications provided for detailed information about the Planar Clarity Matrix LCD Video Wall System (four panel LX46HDS-L model). 

The four commissioned videos will run continuously on a loop with brief slides inserted between each to indicate the artist/s and running time for the preceding and following videos. The video program will be accessible to the public for 8 hours each day the branch is open. There are no minimum or maximum length requirements for the commissioned videos.

The commissions will be contracted as unique, non-editioned, one-of-a-kind artworks for Chicago’s Public Art Collection. However, artists may develop still iterations of the video as a saleable counterpart. Artists may also retain an artist’s copy of the commissioned video for screenings at festivals or fairs, but the video may not be posted online.

PROCESS
DCASE’s Public Art staff will oversee all aspects of the artist selection and commissioning process including interagency and aldermanic consultation, community engagement, selection panel development, application review, artist contracting and consulting, and project implementation.

SELECTION PANEL
Pamela Feldman—Artist, longtime Albany Park resident/parent
John Glynn—Manager, Albany Park Branch Library
Regin Igloria—Artist, longtime Albany Park resident, founder of North Branch Projects
Abina Manning—Executive Director, Video Data Bank at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Jordan Martins—Artist, faculty at North Park University, Executive Director of Comfort Station
Mark McKernin—Artist, faculty at Northeastern Illinois University

COMMUNITY FORUM
A community forum will be held in the community room of the Albany Park Branch Library on Wednesday, February 1st, from 4:30-5:30pm to discuss this public art opportunity. Anyone interested in the project is welcome to attend. DCASE Public Art staff and representatives from the selection panel will be present to share information about the project, listen to community input, clarify how to apply, and address questions.

TO APPLY
Applicants must submit the following by 10:59pm CST, Sunday March 12, 2017

A statement of intent (no more than 300 words) that indicates the applicant’s intended approach to this commission opportunity and its responsiveness to the site, as well as why this specific opportunity at Chicago’s Albany Park Branch Library is of interest to the applicant.

DEADLINE
The application deadline is 10:59pm CST, Sunday March 12, 2017. No late submissions will be accepted, and incomplete applications will be ineligible. After the application deadline, submissions will be reviewed by the selection panel. That process will identify a short list of semifinalists to whom honoraria will be paid to develop formal proposals. Semifinalists will be contacted in April, and proposals will be due in July. After the panel reviews the semifinalists’ proposals, four finalists will be recommended for commission, with at least two commissions awarded to Chicago-based artists. A final community forum will be held at the Albany Park Branch Library (details TBD) to present the panel’s recommendations before the finalists are contracted in September. Commissioned videos are expected to be complete within a year of contracts being issued.

Call for Entry: City of Greeley needs some public art (Greeley, CO)

Entry Deadline: 3/3/17

REQUIREMENTS:

Media
Images - Minimum: 3, Maximum: 6
Total Media - Minimum: 3, Maximum: 6

The City of Greeley is currently in the final planning stages for the new City Center/Municipal Campus. Phase I of the building will house Municipal Court, the IT Department, Council Chambers, GTV8, Central Records and the Water and Sewer department administrative offices. This Civic Building will serve as the center of municipal government to deliver key services to citizens and will eventually contain all city offices.  Its architecture is intended to be open, transparent and welcoming. Phase I will be located on the cleared portion of the city block located at the Northwest corner of 11th Avenue and 11th Street.  Images of the projected City Center model and building renderings can be viewed at http://greeleygov.com/city-center  by scrolling down and clicking on ‘Fire Station #1 and City Center Phase 1 Update’.

The main entrance of Phase I will be located at the north east corner of the new construction and will serve as such until Phase II of the project is funded, constructed and attached to Phase I.  The Phase I entrance will open up into a long hallway that will have great open ‘canvases’ for indoor wall art that will face the northern windows of the building. The wall will be separated into three sections that will measure approximately 20’Wx12’H; one or more of these sections may be utilized by the artist.  

To attach Phase II the north wall of Phase I will be removed and a large portion of the Phase I hallway with the indoor wall art will open up into a grand atrium with a large lobby space; this will become the new main entrance. Artwork will be requested for this area at a later date that must be cohesive in nature to the artwork in Phase I.  A second call to artists may be posted for Phase II artwork or the Phase I artist may be retained with no further posting.

Design materials for the exterior building will be brick and glass as used in the new Fire Station #1, limestone panels cover the east exterior wall facing 11th Ave., and dark bronze colored formed metal frames the Court Room entrance. The building architecture will exhibit a highly civic presence.

The budget for artwork design, fabrication, delivery and installation is not to exceed $60,000.

One artist will be selected to work with a project team of architects, engineers, and managers to work together in developing a design for art to be incorporated into the new building. This approach requires good collaborative skills, creativity, flexibility as well as an open mind. The artist will be selected based on past experience with collaborative projects and past work that exhibits style and materials appropriate to the site.

A minimum of two progress reports will be required showing the evolution of the artists design. Final design work must be original and must include all details necessary for the fabrication and installation of actual artwork. Once the final design is accepted by the Greeley Art Commission and payment made for the design, the City will retain all rights of the final design. The building construction may be ready for art installation as early as July 2018.

Grants: Jim Henson Foundation is accepting letters of intent for Production, Workshop, and Family grants (National)

Description: The Jim Henson Foundation awards grants each year for the creation and development of innovative works of puppet theater. Production Grants of $7,000 are awarded for the production of new works ready to be presented in the coming year. Workshop Grants of $3,000 are for the development and workshopping of these pieces. Workshop Grants and Production Grants can be combined over a two year period for the greatest benefit to the piece; keep in mind, however, that a Production Grant does not need to be proceeded by a Workshop grant and a Workshop Grant in no way ensures a future Production Grant.

Family Grants of $4,000 fund the development of new and innovative work specifically for children, families, and teenagers. Please keep in mind that Family Grants will be evaluated by the same high artistic standards as works for adults.

Grants are made only for the development of new works of live puppet theater. The Foundation does not award funds for the presentation or remounting of existing work. Grants cannot be applied retroactively; substantial portions of a proposed project must take place after the funds are awarded. The foundation does not fund publications, parades, pageants, exhibitions, spectacle, festivals, film or television projects, projects for school credit, workshops, education or outreach activities, or purely digital performance.
