In partnership with Kennedy Heights Arts Center, the Village of Silverton, Ohio invites artists to submit qualifications for a permanent piece of public art to be installed at Silverton Park. This project is the second piece of public art commissioned by the Village of Silverton and is the next step in implementing Silverton’s Art in Public Places Master Plan. They are seeking artists to deliver visually bold and impactful artwork reflective of the Silverton community. This Call to Artists / Request for Qualifications (RFQ) will award and commission a permanent, site-specific public artwork that will be installed at Silverton Park, near the corner of Montgomery Road and Highland Avenue. This Call to Artists/RFQ is a two-stage selection process, and only artists who are pre-qualified through this initial stage will be permitted to move to and be considered in the second stage of the process. A total budget of $40,000 has been allocated for this public art commission. Timeline for installation is Spring 2020. Please visit Kennedy Heights Arts Center’s website at https://kennedyarts.org/news/call-to-artists/ to download the Request for Qualifications PDF that contains all the details and submission guidelines. Follow all directions in the RFQ PDF. Incomplete submissions will not be considered.
