CALL TO ARTISTS FOR EXTERIOR PUBLIC ART FOR THE NEW CONVENTION PARKING GARAGE IN DOWNTOWN OKLAHOMA CITY

BUDGET: $134,250


DEADLINE: 4:00:00PM (CST) on January 8, 2020


The Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority (COTPA) seeks public art design proposals for its new $23 million garage in Park Union District in downtown Oklahoma City. COTPA announces this call for professional artists to submit their qualifications to be considered for the 1% for Art opportunity.

The public art design and installation oversight sought through this announcement will address three

“skin” walls of the new parking garage.


The materials to be used are Duo-Gard FUSION colored tiles (4” square polycarbonate tiles) with metal fasteners. More information about the tiles can be found in the announcement. They will be installed on vertical steel cables. The artwork for the three “skin” walls will be designed by the selected artist. The final design will be installed by the general contractor Manhattan Construction who is responsible for all materials. They have hired a glazing company to install the polycarbonate squares.


This Call to Artists includes final designs in accordance with code requirements, coordination and oversight provided by the contracted artist. Additionally, the design sought will be:


• Instantly memorable

• Visually compelling

• Timeless and enduring

• Site specific


The six-level, 1,100 space garage will be located at 15 SW 4th St., in a developing area of the urban core east of the new Scissortail Park named the Park Union District. The garage will serve the future Omni Convention Center Hotel and MAPS3 Convention Center, Boulevard Place (a mixed-use project in development), Chesapeake Arena, and more, as well as providing office space for parking operations. The parking garage could eventually be expanded by 300 spaces, providing the ability to increase parking as the area grows. Construction is projected to take 12 months to complete, with the timeline closely linked to construction of the Omni Hotel and the MAPS3 Convention Center.
