The City of Aberdeen, WA & Grays Harbor Community Foundation – Simpson Triangle
Eligibility: Open to professional artists living in Washington, Oregon and British Columbia
Budget: $104,000
Deadline: 5:00 PM , February 27, 2012
The City of Aberdeen, WA, in cooperation with the Grays Harbor Community Foundation, is seeking an artist to create a significant three-dimensional artwork for the Simpson Triangle, a highly traveled site between the business districts of Aberdeen and Hoquiam, WA. The artwork will honor the legacy of a local family and inspire both generosity and commitment to community in local residents and those that pass through the City.
The artwork will be of a scale and level of detail to support both motorist drive-by and up-close pedestrian viewing experiences, and will incorporate architectural sandstone blocks of local significance as a re-use material. The artist for this commission will be selected through an open call process, with the final artwork decided on the basis of paid, competitive proposals.
4Culture Public Art is managing the artist selection process, final design development and artwork implementation process for this artwork opportunity. For more information visit their website.
