City of Redmond
Idylwood Park Asphalt Art Design Call
- Deadline:
- Budget: $3000
-
Eligibility: This call is open to individual artists or artists groups residing in the United States. Because the artist is expected to understand the local park and neighborhood, the artist selection panel will consider the proximity of the artist’s studio to the project site.
The City of Redmond is seeking an artist or artist team to create unified designs for three crosswalks adjacent to Idylwood Park in Redmond, WA. These designs will be fabricated out of Thermoplast and installed by the City of Redmond’s Public Works team. This is a creative opportunity to utilize art to reflect the local community while improving visibility and road safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
The selection process shall occur in two phases:
1. In the first phase, an Artist Review Panel comprised of arts professionals, Redmond Arts & Culture Commissioners, and community members will select up to three (3) candidates based on qualifications and past examples of work.
2. In the second phase, the short-listed candidates will be given crosswalk dimensions and design specifications. They will then have 4 weeks and be paid a $500 stipend to develop a draft concept to be shared during a proposal presentation for finalists held during the week of December 14, 2026. Artists will be evaluated based on presentation materials, professional references and answers provided to interview questions posed by the selection panel. Artist presentations will be generated by each artist in any presentation format they wish and will occur in-person at Redmond City Hall. The finalist selected will then move onto the Redmond Arts & Culture Commission for approval. Upon selection of a finalist, a professional services contract will be executed.
