The residency provides:
• Studio (access to ceramic, printmaking, and painting studios—if you would like access to these facilities make sure this is clearly stated in your application)

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.

Call for Proposals: Light rail station mural/public art opportunity in Denver (Colorado)
Request for Proposals
Location: Cherokee and Alaska Ave. - Alameda Station
The BMP Metropolitan District No. 1 in collaboration with RedLine is seeking proposals for a public mural for the west facing wall of the Xcel Energy Electrical Substation located across the street from the Alameda light rail station. The location for the mural represents a unique intersection of urban life connecting the Denver Design District, a public transportation hub, and sets the stage for a new transit-oriented development that will redefine this area of the city. Artists experienced in public murals should apply and consider this an opportunity to create a dynamic piece that speaks to the placement of the mural on the Xcel substation wall and its location adjacent to the RTD light rail station. Design concepts that capture the intersection of innovation, design, transportation, sustainability, and energy as well as speak to the surrounding neighborhood are encouraged.
Specifications of the Site –
The site of the new mural will have the opportunity to visually welcome and send off light rail passengers utilizing Alameda Station. The site is also an important front door to the broader redevelopment of the Denver Design District. The location of the installation in relation to the light rail will allow it to be viewed by the 70,000+ passengers that pass by the station in trains every day. This is very much a utilitarian public space and the public mural should provide the vibrancy to light rail patrons that signals their arrival or departure from the Denver Design District.
Artists will be required to sign the Artists Agreement and Waiver of Rights and Release as required by Xcel Energy - please email lmartorano@redlineart.org for an example of the Artist Agreement. Artists will also be required to sign a Commissioning Agreement stating that the installation will be performed at the Artist’s own risk and that the Artists will hold all other parties harmless in the event of injury or damage to person or property as a result of the Artist’s installation activities. For an example of a commissioning agreement, please email lmartorano@redlineart.org.
Budget - Submissions should include a detailed description of any exclusions but artists are encouraged to provide an “all in” cost that does not exceed $60,000. The cost should include artist fees, materials, equipment, install, and any other costs that are expected to be incurred from concept to completion.
