Community identity and history can be celebrated and elaborated through
public art practice. Through this lens the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture (ARTS), in partnership with
Seattle
Public Utilities (SPU), will commission one artist/artist team to design, fabricate and install an integrated, outdoor
two-part artwork at the Ship Canal Water Quality Project Fremont site location. The artwork will have two points of installation on either side of the bridge over the Ship Canal/Fremont Cut, one on the Fremont side (located near NW Canal Street and 2nd Ave
NW), and the other on the Queen Anne side (located near 244 W Ewing Street).
Budget
The selected artist will receive a commission of $180,000.00 to design, fabricate and install the artwork. The total project budget is all inclusive of travel expenses, taxes and other project costs.
Eligibility
This call is open to professional artists residing in the United States.
The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture encourages diversity in its collection. Artists whose work is well represented in
the city’s collection are eligible to apply, but the artist selection panel will consider artistic diversity as one factor in the selection
process. Students are not eligible to apply.
