The Cultural Affairs Division Seeks a Visual Artist for the Public Art Component of the Farragut Connector Project through a Two-Phase Competitive Process
Qualification Submission Deadline
By 11:59pm PST, on Monday, April 1, 2024
The Cultural Affairs Division invites professional visual artists or artist teams to submit their credentials for consideration to this first of a two-stage competitive process for a public art installation. This art component is part of the project called the "Farragut Connector," a pedestrian passageway connecting Jasmine Avenue to Jackson Avenue in Culver City. The project includes demolition of the existing path and construction of a new concrete passageway that is banked by landscaping on both sides (the "Project"). The proposed location and size for placement of the art is upon the 135' concrete wall along this path that straddles the property line of 4201 Jackson Avenue and measures 42" x 10' (height x length).
As for the public art component of the Project, an original design proposal for the art section will be chosen by a selection committee panel. The original design for the art could stem from visual mediums not limited to mosaic or tiled art but its final form would be translated into a tiled art installation. Please note that more project details will be provided in the second stage, which is the release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to the artists selected from this initial qualification process.
Hard Deadline for Qualification Submission: by 11:59pm PST, on Monday, April 1, 2024.
This City-commissioned artwork will be made possible by the Cultural Trust Fund of the City of Culver City, which is funded by developers, along with continued support from the Cultural Affairs Commission.
