Get matched →Sherman Associates has contracted Forecast Public Art to facilitate a call for two artists/teams to design and create 2 separate public artworks at the new Beltline development in St. Louis Park, MN. Artists are invited to submit a letter of interest and samples of past work to be considered to participate in the design proposal phase. Up to three semi-finalists for each opportunity will receive a stipend to present a design concept to the selection committee. One artist or team for each site will be contracted to refine, create and install their design concept.
The goals of this project are to lead a thoughtful public art process that integrates art meaningfully into the site design and public realm, reflects the identity and character of the Beltline corridor and St. Louis Park, engages community stakeholders in artist selection, supports diverse and inclusive artist participation, and produces durable, maintainable, and site-appropriate installations. The selected artwork should also be grounded in the four Community Pillars identified by residents in St. Louis Park Vision 4.0 plan: Spaces to Belong, Spaces to Call Home; Community Thriving; Holistic Safety and Infrastructure; and Environmental Stewardship.
2 commissions are available, and artist teams are welcome. Do not submit a proposal for artworks at this time.
The Selection Committee will select up to 3 artists or teams per opportunity to participate in a Zoom interview and present a design concept. Each artist/team will be paid a $800 stipend to prepare design concepts. Deliverables include graphic sketches of the proposed design concept and a budget breakdown. Selected artists/teams will have approximately 4 weeks to prepare preliminary concepts, including the presentations for Phase 2.
