Hi all,

 

We have a really unique opportunity here. We will be hiring a multi-disciplinary team to tell the story of some of the first artist-design team collaboration in the country—that which took place in Seattle’s Downtown Transit Tunnel.

 

This isn’t a traditional public art call for artists, per se, but it is a call for historians, storytellers, exhibit designers, and documentarians who can tell a story about the development of such a significant way of working in public art. Would you all please rack your brains to think of folks you know who may be a good fit for such an opportunity? This story needs to be told, and told well! Geographic restriction is to British Columbia, California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.

Seattle Transit Tunnel: Call for Innovative Historic Interpretation

We are seeking historians, storytellers, exhibit designers, and documentarians to research and document a significant moment in Seattle’s cultural history: the artist and design team collaboration that resulted in the 5-station downtown transit tunnel.

 

BUDGET: $150,000 to develop the interpretive content and a proposal for how the content can be shared with the public

ELIGIBILITY: Open to professional individuals and teams residing in the Pacific Northwest region: British Columbia, California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: Monday, February 12th, 2018, 4:00 p.m. PST

4Culture and King County Metro Transit Division want to commission an innovative public experience to tell the story of community, collaboration, and public art in the Seattle Downtown Transit Tunnel. The form of interpretation can be wide-ranging and may take the form of exhibition display, publication, film or video documentary, interactive website, or any combination of these possibilities.

This historic interpretation is intended to be shared with the public. The selected individual or team will be under contract to 4Culture to oversee the content’s conceptual framework and creation. The selected individual or team will be expected to work collaboratively with 4Culture and its partner(s) to develop a proposal for display of the interpretive feature into a publicly accessible location or platform depending on the content focus and media.
