A reminder to professional artists and artist teams with a demonstrated history of completing large-scale, outdoor public art projects:


City of Chicago Riverwalk East Public Art Design Project
Request for Qualifications 

Deadline for Submissions: Friday, October 26, 2018 at 11:59pm, CST

The Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), in collaboration with the Chicago Department of Fleet and Facility Management (2FM) invites professional artists and artist teams to submit their qualifications for a public art design project in response to sites along Riverwalk East, located on the south bank of the Chicago River, between Michigan Avenue and Lake Shore Drive. Through the Riverwalk East Public Art Design Project, artists at the height of their field will develop ambitious, innovative design proposals that activate and enhance this half-mile long beloved natural amenity and recreation area.

Our committee will select 3-4 finalists who will each receive a $10,000 design commission and will be invited to tour the site, meet with stakeholders, review existing plans, and receive community input.  Finalists will work in collaboration with the project team to develop comprehensive public art proposals that respond to both current site conditions and forthcoming developments.  The design proposals will help determine the final budget for the commission of artwork.

Sincerely,

Joanna
