We will leave it up to the finalists to decide on whether to propose for one or two roundabouts.Good question on splitting the commission - the plan is to select one artist for the whole commission.Thank You,Nathan Mattimoe

The artist can propose for two or just one roundabout.Nathan—does this budget mean that you are commissioning 4 roundabouts at $50K each, or that you have $200K total to spend and it could be allocated unequally among the sites? Just trying to figure out if I should post it—typically I don’t post out of state opportunities for budgets less than about $75K, as our artists tell us it’s not worth their time to apply for those.Thanks,Julia Muney Moore
