Organization overview and procurement intelligence available on paid plans.
DESCRIPTION
The town seeks professional artists and artist teams to design and install a new public art piece for a prominent site located at a main thoroughfare. The project aims to create a sculptural screen or barrier that visually softens and integrates infrastructure elements such as electrical charging stations, utility boxes, and parking areas.
Proposals should present a site-responsive artwork that thoughtfully incorporates town-provided geothermal heating panels and reflects the community's identity. The location includes a geothermal pumphouse, which supports the town’s approach to downtown heating and sustainability, as well as connections to local hot springs tied to wellness and geology.
Artists are encouraged to demonstrate how their work will respond to the setting, support the town's focus on sustainability, and forge a connection between functional infrastructure and the unique natural features of the area.
