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.
