Interactive Public Art in Chattanooga Tennessee, Request for Qualifications


Props to the city of Chattanooga for using a grant from the US National Endowment for the Arts to fund a new urban park of playful, interactive sculpture! 

They are seeking qualifications from artists/artist teams for the park, to be called 'The Main Terrain', in the revitalized Southside district of downtown Chattanooga.  Up to five artists/artist teams will be short-listed, with a $3,000 stipend to be used for design proposal and travel. Total project budget for public art is $210,000.  The winning artists/teams will collaborate on a project team that includes the City of Chattanooga, a landscape architect and Public Art Chattanooga.

The RFQ is open to all established professional artists/artist teams, designers, landscape architects and architects over the age of 18 who currently reside in the United States. Deadline:  applications must be received by mail, hand delivery or electronically by October 25, 2011, 4:00 pm EST

 I hope to seem some amazing playable sculptures out of this!
