Hello PAN colleagues,

 

Will you please share the following opportunity with your networks?

 

The Salt Lake City Arts Council and Parks and Public Lands are pleased to announce an opportunity for artists or artist-led teams to submit qualifications for the Glendale Park Public Art Project.

 

Deadline: May 9, 2019, 11:59 p.m. MDT

 

Budget: $188, 500

 

Eligibiliity: This opportunity is open to all professional artists and/or artist-led teams based in the United State. Artists residing in Salt Lake City are strongly encouraged to apply.

 

Glendale Park is a 7.2 acre park located at 1375 West 1700 South. The park is a central community location for residents from the Glendale, Poplar Grove, and Rose Park neighborhoods and is also easily accessible from the regional trail on the Jordan River. In the fall of 2018, Salt Lake City Council approved funding for the final phase of park improvements that will include a small multi-use field, looped walking path, pavilion, and playground. These improvements will create a space for recreational and social events in this neighborhood. Salt Lake City Parks and Public Lands has contracted with a landscape architecture consultant to develop design drawings for the improvements, which will be implemented and completed by the summer of 2020.

The selected artist will work closely with the landscape architecture consultant to integrate their work into the plans and site. A couple of the final artwork goals include: encourages an element of interactivity or surprise; is reflective of Glendale and contributes to community identity and pride; and exemplifies strong, imaginative design and content and is integrated into the broader design of the park.

For more info and to apply, please visit http://saltlakepublicart.org/for-artists/calls-for-artists/. Submissions will be accepted via the CaFÉ™ website (www.callforentry.org) no later than 11:59 p.m. MDT on May 9, 2019.

 

Thank you,

Kat
