City of Olympia Parks, Arts & Recreation
Call for Art – Olympia Art Crossings
- Deadline:
- Budget: $55,000
-
Eligibility: This opportunity is open to artists with a connection to Olympia, Washington. Olympia-based artists and/or artist teams are strongly encouraged to apply. City of Olympia staff, Arts Commissioners, selection panel members, project personnel, their immediate family members, and artists who have previously completed an Art Crossings project are not eligible.
The City of Olympia is seeking an artist or artist team to develop site-specific artwork for each of two projects as part of the Olympia Art Crossings Project. Olympia Crossings: An Art Plan for City Gateways identifies eight locations for public art along civic boulevards. This solicitation is for Art Crossing #4 – Harrison/Division and Art Crossing #5 – Henderson/Eskridge. These locations are based in neighborhoods and mark primary gateways approximately one mile from the center of downtown Olympia.
Applicants must identify Art Crossing #4 or Art Crossing #5 as their preference, and indicate willingness to be considered for the second location. Projects will be awarded to two separate artists/teams. Budget is $55,000 per project.
This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
