Eligible artists or teams must have completed two commissioned outdoor public artworks valued at least $25,000 each and must demonstrate understanding of the Waukee community and project criteria. The selected artist will develop, fabricate, and install the artwork; three finalists will receive a $500 stipend to refine their proposals.
