RFP/Q's Danny Lopez Park: Request for Qualifications
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: May 8, 2025 – This opportunity invites artists to create permanent public art at Danny Lopez Park in collaboration with local community voices, to celebrate their stories, and shape a public artwork that embodies the culture and identity of all park users. This is a unique chance for an emerging artist or an experienced public art creator to connect with the public, understand their perspectives, and integrate their input into the creative process.
This public art opportunity is open to all forms and mediums of permanent public art that are suitable for the Southern Arizona climate. The artwork(s) for this project may include, but are not limited to, murals, mosaics, sculptures, installation art, interactive elements, and other site-specific designs. Given the harsh desert environment, the use of sustainable materials that can withstand the climate’s extreme conditions, while ensuring long-term durability and low maintenance, will be essential to the success of the project.
BUDGET
The all-inclusive budget includes, but is not limited to the artist fee(s), artwork materials, insurance, stamped engineering plans, tax requirements, research, community engagement, contract, labor, fabrication, platforms, earthwork, lighting, permits, and all related costs required for the installation of the artwork(s). Please note that due to recent changes in federal import/export policies, production material prices will change during the scope of this project.
ELIGIBILITY
Professional artists and artist teams worldwide.
