Call for Artists Town Point Park

Date Posted: 07/15/08
Organization: City of Norfolk
City: Norfolk

Description:

The City of Norfolk, Virginia is excited to announce two design projects

for Town Point Park, the City’s seven-acre Festival Park

at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay on the water’s edge of the Elizabeth River.

Water Feature - The City of Norfolk seeks to commission an artist to design a signature water feature that speaks specifically and uniquely about the park, the Elizabeth River and Norfolk. The artwork will be a show piece to celebrate the entrance to Town Point Park and act as a welcoming gateway to the waterfront. This is a design project, no actual fabrication or construction is part of this budget. It is anticipated that the Artist will participate in the fabrication and installation of the artwork under a separate budget and another contract. Project funds for this site-specific design project are $60,000.

Deadline for submissions is August 19, 2008.

Perimeter - The City of Norfolk seeks to commission an artist to design a perimeter that clearly delineates the street edge as a fence between Town Point Park on Waterside Drive and Downtown Norfolk. The artwork will serve to control pedestrian and vehicle traffic while maintaining the visual connection to the water. There are public walkways on both sides and the design will be an important edge that identifies the Park. Artists are encouraged to think beyond the idea of a fence. This is a design project, no actual fabrication or construction is part of this budget. It is anticipated that the Artist will participate in the fabrication and installation of the artwork under a separate budget and another contract. Project funds for this site-specific design project are $20,000.

Deadline for submissions is August 19, 2008.
