SUMMARY: Cabarrus County, North Carolina is seeking artists or artist collaborations to create innovative, original, and site-specific artwork for the Cabarrus County Courthouse Expansion that is currently under construction in downtown Concord, NC.

The Art Selection Committee for this project is seeking an artist or artist team who can understand and express, in a suspended, permanently-installed, large scale piece, the Courthouse's role in providing sound and fair justice. 


The artwork will be sited overhead in the new public lobby, off a pedestrian plaza, prior to entrance into the security queuing area. 

High windows will afford views of the artwork from outside the building on three sides, as well as inside. 

The artwork must be durable, low maintenance, and appropriate to the location. 


BUDGET: $350,000. 

One (1) to three (3) finalists will each receive a separate $2,500 stipend to cover design costs and travel to present proposals.


DEADLINE: Monday, December 20, 2021 by 3:00 p.m. EDT
