This project represents a complete, modern transformation of the site. The existing facility, parking layout, and playgrounds are being razed to clear the way for a brand-new, single-story, approximately 25,000 gross square foot (GSF) state-of-the-art community center and gymnasium. Sited deliberately near the northwest corner of the lot closer to Good Luck Road, the new facility utilizes an open “L” configuration that creates a generous, highly visible front entry sequence. The public artworks are envisioned as critical neighborhood anchors that will sit within this main entrance threshold. Highly visible to westbound vehicular traffic on Good Luck Road and active pedestrians entering the site, these works will establish a profound sense of place, welcoming multi-generational families to a space dedicated to recreation, equity, and sustainability. Artists or artist teams may submit credentials for either one or both opportunities outlined below. However, selected semi-finalists will ultimately be commissioned to execute only one project. $200,000 Abstract forms are highly preferred. The final sculpture must be multi-dimensional and dynamic, presenting an impactful composition from all viewing angles. The vertical height must not exceed 18 feet, and the physical structure must safely clear all pedestrian pathways, maintaining required sightlines for vehicle circulation and primary building signage. $50,000 Abstract forms are highly preferred.
