Carson City is seeking an artist or artist team to design, fabricate and install a free-standing, outdoor, original sculpture at the South Carson Street Roundabout. Carson City recently completed the South Carson Complete Streets Project, the largest corridor revitalization project in the City’s history. One of the focal points of the corridor revitalization is the roundabout at South Carson Street and South Stewart Street. This roundabout is intended to serve as an inviting gateway connecting the busy commercial corridor of South Carson Street and historic downtown Carson City which includes many shops and restaurants as well as the Nevada State Capitol.
This Call to Artists seeks a public art piece for the roundabout that will celebrate our community and provide welcoming aesthetics to pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists entering from all directions of the roundabout. This opportunity is open to professional artists or teams who are at least 18 years of age. Applicants must have public art project experience that matches the scope of the project and must have successfully managed and completed at least one large-scale commission on schedule and on budget. Up to three finalists will be selected to visit the site and prepare concept proposals.
