Call for Expressions of Interest and Artist Qualifications – The Heights Gateway Project
The Heights Merchants Association (HMA), Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
Artist Fee: $30,000
Total Project Budget: $110,000
Submission deadline: Dec. 7, 2012
This call for expressions of interest and artist qualifications is open to local and regional artists.
Project Vision
The Heights Gateway Project is envisioned to be a unique and engaging piece of public art to act as a focal point for the neighbourhood commercial district, and enhance the local character and physical environment. The public art piece should reflect the flavour and history of the Heights community, yet integrate well with the design of the new development, Montage.
More than 40,000 vehicles (and their drivers and passengers) pass the selected site daily. The piece of public art will have tremendous visibility and we hope it will achieve widespread recognition over time. The inspiration, creativity, and innovation of the project will be developed and driven by the artist(s), with parameters determined by the Height Gateway Committee.
