Description
The City of Pittsburgh seeks an artist, artist team, or firm to develop and implement a public art project for the Manchester-Chateau neighborhood. The work must include a permanent element installed on City property, with most of the project funds allocated to the permanent installation. The selected artist will lead community engagement, develop the concept and design, obtain required approvals and support letters, and manage site preparation, fabrication, and installation. The artwork should be designed to last at least ten years and must comply with City safety and permitting requirements; a maintenance plan is required. Applicants must demonstrate experience implementing at least one significant public artwork. The proposal should include an artist approach, relevant experience and work samples, references, project-team information, a work schedule, and a cost proposal. The selected applicant will receive a total budget of $100,000, inclusive of project development and installation costs. Applicants may subcontract project components, including some or all of the artwork. The City requires good-faith efforts to obtain MBE/WBE and veteran-owned business participation, documented with the required EORC materials.
