Hello artists and colleagues,

 

I am happy to announce Salt Lake City has released the Regent Street Request for Qualifications.

 

Deadline: February 7, 2018, 11:59pm MDT

Commission: up to $2,000,000

 

INTRODUCTION

A new state-of-the-art performing arts center, the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater, opened on Regent Street in October 2016. The theater has become the region’s premier entertainment venue and a contemporary landmark for Utah’s capital city. The construction of the theater generated an exciting development opportunity to redesign and revitalize the adjacent street, Regent Street, which is one of downtown Salt Lake City’s most interesting streets – both historically and culturally. The crowning piece of Regent’s redevelopment is a public art installation that will formalize the street as the core of a thriving arts and cultural district.

 

This public art opportunity is open to all professional artists and artist-led teams with demonstrated experience in innovative placemaking and a history of work in a variety of media and materials that are durable and suitable for Utah’s variable climate. Artists responding to this call must demonstrate a proficiency in executing work of similar scope and scale.
