CDA Arts Commission Seeks Artists for Roundabout Sculpture

Posted: 5/31/2017 12:19:31 PM
The City of Coeur d'Alene Arts Commission is seeking artists for a sculpture to be installed in the Fort Grounds Drive roundabout.

In an effort to expand outdoor recreational uses and increase pedestrian activity, the City of Coeur d’Alene developed a master plan to redevelop the Four Corners area, which includes Coeur d’Alene City Park, access to the Fort Grounds neighborhood, Memorial Field, and the historic Playland Pier carousel, while keeping its great historical features intact.  The roundabout sculpture should embody the vibrant present and bright future of this area. 

Public art can be a change agent for the community.  It creates and establishes neighborhood and community identity and also enhances the visual landscape and character of the city.  It turns ordinary spaces into community landmarks and promotes community dialogue and, most important, it's accessible to everyone.

Information packets are available at City Hall, 710 E. Mullan Avenue, or online at cdaid.org/arts.  Artist proposals are due by 5 p.m.,  July 10, 2017.  To ensure fairness, no extensions or waivers of deadlines will be granted.  Artists with questions are encouraged to contact Sam Taylor, Arts Commission Liaison, at [email protected]
