City of Chicago Riverwalk East Public Art Design Project 

Request for Qualifications

Deadline for Submissions: Friday, 10/26/18, 11:59pm, CST

Design fee: $10,000 (3-4 finalists)

Projected budget for implementation of artwork: $1-3 million

 

Professional artists and artist teams with demonstrated experience completing large-scale outdoor public art projects are invited to submit their qualifications for a public art design project that will respond 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. 

 

A 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. There is no residency requirement for this call.  The projected budget for final commission and implementation of artwork is $1,000,000 - $3,000,000.
