Artists or Artist Teams are hereby invited to submit qualifications to be considered to participate in the design phase for the four public art opportunities described below.
Artists will be asked in the application for which opportunity they are applying. Artists may apply to more than one opportunity, but it is not required. If you would like to apply to multiple opportunities, you will need to submit a separate application for each. Artists/artist teams applying for any of these opportunities can be located anywhere in the country but must have a team member with a connection to the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area. This connection must be addressed in the letter of interest.
The 11th Street Bridge Park Curatorial Committee will review eligible applications and select up to 3 finalists for each public art opportunity. Finalists will receive a $750 stipend to cover fees associated with concept development for a later virtual presentation to the Curatorial Committee, via Zoom.
After finalist presentations, one artist/artist team will be commissioned to develop, fabricate, and install each artwork. Additional requirements will be outlined in instructions to finalists. Please note that funds for fabrication and installation will be secured after a project proposal has been selected. The fabrication and installation phases will occur in a few years. More information is included about the process later in this document.
The Committee is made up of 9 members, including: a member of the Bridge Park’s Design Review Committee with public art expertise; two youth who live and/or went to school in Ward 8; an elder who was born and raised in the community; two local artists and administrators who live and/or work in the community and also work at leading arts institutions; the lead architect from OMA; the lead landscape architect from OLIN; and the Director of the Bridge Park
