RFP: Winston-Salem Portrait Project

http://www.cityofws.org/Portals/0/pdf/planning/pac/rfp-rfq/RFP_WS_Portrait_Project_20180207.pdf

 

Budget: $200,000

 

Deadline: 3/23/2018

 

The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County (NC) Public Art Commission is seeking an artist or artist-led team with community organizing experience to engage the public and facilitate a citywide art project with the working title, "Winston-Salem Portrait Project." We envision this project as a photographic portrayal of our community: a portrait made of our many faces, displayed where we come together and where we're divided. We are seeking an artist/organizer experienced in photographic media, with strong communication skills and the demonstrated ability to work collaboratively to conceive of and lead a community-wide project.

 

The committee anticipates that this will be a citywide project that will include at least nine displays: one Downtown as well as at least eight displays throughout the city in neighborhood settings and other high-visibility areas. Locations will be determined as part of the community outreach component of the project in collaboration with City residents and a local coordinator. The duration of each display could range from temporary to semi-permanent to permanent.
