The New Mexico Department of Transportation is seeking an artist or artist team to advise and provide specific recommendations to the design team on the aesthetic treatment of the I-25 and Montgomery Interchange to be reconstructed in Albuquerque, NM.
This project is on the mainline of I-25 in north Albuquerque and serves as a gateway to the Montano commercial area and river crossing of the Rio Grande to the west and the Montgomery commercial and residential areas to the East.
The project will address reconstruction and the capacity needs of the interchange and adjacent frontage roads for the next 20 years while providing an aesthetic experience for the estimated 94,000 trips by the traveling public that pass through the area on a daily basis.
Surfaces to be addressed may include bridge abutments, railings, project retaining walls, and pedestrian fencing as defined by the design team. Treatments may be expressed through color, texture, and unique repeating concrete form liners for vertical surfaces and metallic shapes for fencing. Subtle lighting treatments may be considered if they do not cause a distraction to drivers and the local government agency agrees to pay for power, maintenance and repairs/replacement. Treatments will address the cultural and natural resource qualities of this northern part of Albuquerque, and comprise an holistic aesthetic ‘look’ for the interchange without providing a distraction to the traveling public.
Interested parties must apply and be prepared to demonstrate aesthetic ability, ability to work as part of a team, and ability to work within time and monetary budgets. Interested applicants must be New Mexico residents at the time of the submittal and during the aesthetic treatment development.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
The City of Durham Cultural and Public Arts Program commissions a variety of public
artworks in collaboration with City departments and other organizations engaged in capital
development projects across Durham, North Carolina. The City of Durham Cultural and
Public Arts Program defines public art as original visual art including, but not limited to,
sculptures, murals, photographic renderings, mosaics, and electronic art installations.
Project locations may include but are not limited to the City's parks, sidewalks, interior and

through a public process that provides opportunities for the community to provide input.
The City of Durham Pre-qualified Artists Registry will be used to select artists when a
project's requirements render it suitable. Selection will be based on the appropriateness of
the artist's medium and experience relevant to specific project requirements. The City
continuously seeks greater diversity and urges artists and artist teams of all backgrounds
and any medium to become part of the pre-qualified registry.

historic preservation, and social and cultural diversity through policies, ordinances,
economic incentives, and special events. In 2011, the Durham City Council passed an
ordinance designating up to one percent of all capital improvement project budgets for the
creation of public art. The City then developed the Cultural and Public Arts Program to
coordinate and fund public art projects across Durham.

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.

Grant: Rapid Story Deployment Fund has money for your social change thing
Rapid Story Deployment Fund
The Fledgling Fund
OVERVIEW
The current political climate has driven home the importance of raising up voices and stories that inform and engage. As we look at the big issues on the table in the coming years - immigration, racial justice, gender equality, health care, criminal justice and climate change, to name just a few - we believe it is critical that there be a vibrant public debate grounded in an understanding of the myriad ways these issues affect individuals, families and communities.
Non-fiction visual stories bring together diverse communities, and sometimes unlikely allies, to engage in real dialogue and action. These stories are more urgent than ever and we believe that they need to be deployed quickly, in a range of formats, to help amplify the work of individual leaders, nonprofits and movements. We know filmmakers and other media makers have creative ideas about how to do this (and sometimes have footage that can be repurposed), but often lack the financial resources to implement them quickly.
To that end, Fledgling's Special Fund for Rapid Story Deployment provides grants ranging from $2,500-$10,000 to support short non-fiction films and/or other visual stories that can be completed and distributed quickly. Priority will be given to projects that have a plan to distribute the work in ways that deepen the debate around our most critical social issues. We are open to funding at all stages (production, post-production, distribution and outreach) but will give priority to projects and that are well positioned to make an impact quickly.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and must be submitted via our online application system. We are committed to an expedited review process and will notify applicants of proposal's status within two weeks. Unfortunately, due to volume, we are unable to provide feedback on declined applications.
WHAT WE CONSIDER
THE STORY We are looking for short-form (typically less than ten minutes, though the story should drive the length), non-fiction, compelling, authentic, and timely stories that are character driven and/or add a new perspective to or new information about a critical social issue. We are seeking projects that have unique power to inspire, educate and mobilize diverse and sometimes overlooked audiences.
ISSUE AREA Priority will be given to projects that respond in real-time to U.S. social and political changes that affect vulnerable populations in the U.S. and abroad.
AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT AND DISTRIBUTION We are seeking projects that can be quickly deployed and are looking for thoughtful, ambitious and achievable ideas about using the content. Having nonprofit partnerships in place, unique plans to build viewership and timely calls to action will help a project stand out.
BUDGET AND TIMELINE We will give priority to projects that can be completed and distributed within weeks or months and can be deployed to influence the political and social conversation. We will consider the overall budget and prioritize projects where our funding can play a key role in getting the project to the finish line.
TEAM We will prioritize projects led by experienced teams with a track record of producing high-quality documentary films and other media and who are capable of repurposing existing footage and/or producing new material to be completed and distributed quickly.
ELIGIBILITY
We welcome applications from individual filmmakers, media makers and/or from nonprofit organizations working in partnership with media makers. Student projects are not eligible. Before receiving a grant, all applicants must have a 501c3 fiscal sponsor based in the United States. This does NOT need to be in place for you to submit the application, but it must be in place for the funds to be disbursed.
