SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 2015 9 A Call to artists for Siuslaw Marina project FRAA seeks donations The Florence Public Art Steering Committee is request- ing proposals for one piece of artwork to be placed at the western end of the Port of Siuslaw marina, in the land- scaped section facing Bay Street. This location provides high visibility from both Bay Street and the port property. The public art piece should be designed to provide an attractive and impactful impression of the port and Old Town to both local residents and visitors. This piece is intended to be the first in a series of public art pieces to be placed in strategic locations around the city, fol- lowing consultation and approval from city leaders, and the formation of a permanent public art committee. Criteria states that the artist must be 18 years or older, and submissions should include a resume of the artist, including their experience with public and/or outdoor art. Interested parties should submit a visual representation of their proposal in pdf or jpeg format. Artwork must present a theme consistent with this par- ticular location at the end of the port, for example, a nautical design that could, incorporate marine life, aviary, boats, etc., and should recognize items and species that are specific to the Pacific Northwest. To ensure maximum impact and visibility, the piece should stand between eight and 10 feet tall, and could be up to four feet in diameter. The port will provide a base for the piece. If selected, the committee will purchase the artwork from the artist for a final price of a minimum of $5,000 or a maxi- mum of $7,000. The artist should submit their final price with the design. By submitting a proposal, the artist agrees and warrants that artwork is original and unique, and any submitted idea, documentation or design will become and remain the exclusive proper- ty of the Florence Public Art committee. Submissions should be sent to fraaoregon@gmail. com. The deadline is Sunday, May 31.
