Call for Artists - SF Redevelopment Agency
Call for Artists
from the SF Redevelopment Agency
Deadline Sept. 14, 2009
Purpose/Goals:
The Redevelopment Agency of the City and County of San Francisco ("Agency") is seeking submittals from qualified artists that will be commissioned to create original public art of the highest aesthetic standards for the Hunters Point Shipyard (“Shipyard”). The public art that is produced will be part of a larger community planned Cultural Historic Recognition Program (“CHRP”) that celebrates in various ways the Bayview Hunters Point (“BVHP’) and Shipyard communities.
Through this two-phased Call for Artists the Agency intends to select artists who will create and fabricate public art for the Shipyard. The first phase (“Qualification Phase”) seeks to establish a pre-qualified pool of artists for consideration. A shortlist of artists responding to the Call for Artists (“Finalists”) will be invited to develop a concept proposal to create public art for the Shipyard in the second phase of the solicitation process (“Proposal Phase”). Finalists will be paid a modest honorarium to develop a proposal. Artists are encouraged to use a variety of artistic approaches and a wide range of appropriate media to apply.
Eventually, an Artist Selection Jury will select award candidates (“Awardees” or “Selected Artists”) who will create public art for the Shipyard among the finalists who have submitted concept proposals. Agency staff will present the Jury’s recommendation to the Agency Commission’s for confirmation and for authorization to enter into Artists Contract (also referred to as Personal Services Contract)
Eligibility: Open to practicing and emerging artists and artist teams in the United States.
