The City of Colum­bia, Mis­souri, invites artists to apply for a pub­lic art project at the planned Fifth and Wal­nut Streets Park­ing Garage. The City seeks an artist or artist team to cre­ate new site-​specific, orig­i­nal, pub­lic artwork(s) for the garage. Works in a vari­ety of durable media and forms will be con­sid­ered. The project is a com­po­nent of Columbia’s Per­cent for Art Pro­gram, estab­lished in 1997, and is being imple­mented by the city’s Office of Cul­tural Affairs (OCA). Artists should sub­mit qual­i­fi­ca­tions only, not a design proposal.

The bud­get for the site-​specific pub­lic art at the Fifth and Wal­nut Park­ing Garage project has been estab­lished at $110,000. The amount must include all artist fees, mate­ri­als, fab­ri­ca­tion, ship­ping, instal­la­tion, etc. To be eli­gi­ble to apply, artists must reside legally in the United States.

Appli­ca­tions must be sub­mit­ted elec­tron­i­cally by Octo­ber 1 via CaFE (Call for Entry) at www​.Call​ForEn​try​.org. There is no charge to apply and use of the CaFE site is free. Appli­cants need only reg­is­ter at the site.
