Call for Site-Specific Art Proposals – Antler Avenue Public Parking Area
The City of Cannon Beach, Oregon is pleased to present the 5th annual Public Art Program. Cannon Beach, long considered an arts community, is perched at the edge of the Pacific Ocean and provides a magnificent backdrop for outdoor sculpture.
The City of Cannon Beach Public Art Committee, on behalf of the City of Cannon Beach, Oregon, is seeking proposals for our 2011 Public Art Program for a site specific piece to be placed in a prominent location in the main business corridor of town. The site is in the Antler Avenue parking area and the site plan consists of a planting strip, of varying widths, along the 100’-0” length of the parking lot, between the parking area and a sidewalk that runs along the main street through Cannon Beach. The project will be located directly next to a pedestrian walkway along the main entrance into Cannon Beach, because of this and the likelihood that this project will become a landmark. To view photos of the location, please click here [.pdf].
Submissions will be accepted from all professional artists, with preference given to artists from the Pacific Northwest. The panel of jurors will narrow the proposals down to 3 finalists, followed by a Public Forum to accept public input; and then, in mid May, the City’s Public Art Committee will select the winner.The budget for the project is $14,000. The deadline for submissions is March 18, 2011.
The 3 sculptures shown
below were selected by last year's panel of jurors. Click
