Create site-specific, permanent artwork influenced by the rich history and contextual narrative of the Georgetown and/or South Park neighborhood(s) and the communities and industry of the Duwamish River basin.

• Budget: $65,000 total budget includes $13,000 for artist design development, $47,000 for implementation*, and $5,000 for travel*
• Eligibility: open to professional artists who reside in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. The artist should work in a two-dimensional media such as photography, printmaking, painting, illustration, or graphic design. Emerging artists as well as artists who have a cultural, historic and/or artistic connection to the Duwamish River or neighborhoods proximal to the site are strongly encouraged to apply.
• Application: submission of an online application is required for this opportunity.
• Deadline: Tuesday, November 5, 2019 by 4:00 pm PST

*4Culture will manage fabrication, oversite and installation of the artwork.
**Travel: Artists from outside of the greater Seattle area who are selected for the commission will be reimbursed for travel expenses and hotel accommodations for their work with project stakeholders and for presentations to the 4Culture Public Art Advisory Committee.

4Culture and the King County International Airport/ Boeing Field (KICA) seek an artist to develop a 2-dimensional artwork that will be translated to metal panels. Metal panels will be installed along the KCIA Security fence (see Exhibit A). The artwork will create a strong visual element in its siting adjacent to the planned public access road to the Georgetown Steamplant Museum (GSPM). The selected artist will have the opportunity to create a design that is influenced by the rich history and contextual narrative of the surrounding neighborhoods, communities, industry, and Duwamish River basin.

The artist design fee will cover creation of a unique, site specific artwork in the form of a high resolution digital file. The final dimensions are being confirmed, but the completed artwork will be approximately 8 feet tall x 80 feet long. 4Culture will select the fabricator and manage the fabrication, oversite and installation of the artwork making this an ideal project for an emerging artist.
