The City of Bellingham seeks an artist or artist team to design, fabricate and install artwork at a roundabout located on Cordata Parkway and Horton Road. The deadline to respond to a Request for Qualifications for the project is noon, August 5, 2022.
The primary goal of this project is to provide a unique feature that serves as a gateway into this developing area of the Cordata Neighborhood, while increasing quality of life and attracting tourism and visitors to the city.
The roundabout is located at the entrance to a residential area where future residential development is planned. The project is primarily funded through the City's One Percent for the Arts, a program that dedicates 1% of large capital project budgets to be allocated for artwork. For this project, $80,000 – $95,000 is available for all phases of the artwork. |
