Seattle’s Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs
3/11/2010
Seattle's Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation and Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), seeks two artists for public art projects at two new parks: West Seattle Reservoir at Westcrest Park and Maple Leaf Reservoir Park. The artists will be selected from a single pool of applicants, and each will work on one of the park projects. The artists will collaborate with design consultants and city staff to create engaging areas or installations that are integrated into the parks' design, enhance the experience of visiting the parks, promote discovery and/or define a space or activity within the parks. The projects are funded with SPU and 2008 Parks and Green Spaces Levy 1% for Art funds. The projects are open to professional artists residing in the United States and the budget is $150,000, all-inclusive for each project. Deadline is Thursday, March 11th at 11pm (Pacific Time). A link to the online application and guidelines is available at www.seattle.gov/arts. For more information contact Patricia Hopper at (206) 684-7311 or Jason Huff at (206) 684-7278.
