TOTAL ART BUDGET: $ 94,000
NAME OF INSTITUTION: Colorado Creative Industries on behalf of the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind
Qualifications are requested from artists and/or artist teams interested in creating site-specific, exterior public artwork(s) for the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
ABOUT THE COLORADO SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND BLIND
The Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind (CSDB) is a state funded school within the Colorado Department of Education. The school was established for the purpose of providing comprehensive educational services for children, birth to age 21, who are blind/visually impaired and/or deaf/hard of hearing. Services are provided directly to students enrolled at the school, and outreach programs serve students, staff, and families in communities throughout Colorado. CSDB is listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties and is the only school in the state of Colorado dedicated solely to the education of students who are deaf/hard of hearing or blind/visually impaired.
The Art Selection committee is looking to commission an outdoor artwork or series of artworks for the exterior of the Jones and Palmer Halls. Opportunities for exterior artwork locations include the new plaza area outside of Jones Hall and the new exterior gathering area outside Palmer Hall. Current public artworks on campus are focused on campus history, students, and the continuum of education; CSDB would like this artwork to address that the school’s forward thinking mentality and that its community is moving forward into the new century. Due to the school’s unique population, CSDB is interested in how artists can creatively address the school’s community with an accessible artwork. A large sculpture that is highly visible and is also tactile is an option; as well, CSDB is open to light, water, sound, and kinetic pieces.
