Public Art Opportunities
Metro is seeking five artists for Silver Line stations.

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) invites artists to apply for public art commissions at 5 stations on the Metro Silver Line.

The Metro Silver Line combines service on the dedicated busways along the 110 Freeway (Harbor Transitway) and Interstate 10 (El Monte Busway), with additional connecting stops through downtown Los Angeles.

Exciting art opportunities for the LA County + USC Medical Center Station, 37th St/USC Station, Slauson Station, Manchester Station, and the Rosecrans Station have been identified.

The art opportunities vary among the stations and include integrated sculptural elements, powder-coated aluminum panels and banners using the ink sublimation process, and metal cutwork panels. Artists' fees range from $20,000 to $95,000 for artists' designs, engineering, fabrication and delivery.

Please note eligibility includes artists who live and work in the United States with the exception of artists currently under contract for Metro stations, or who have completed a permanent Metro Art commission within the past 3 years. Artists must also have successfully completed at least three outdoor public art commissions with a minimum budget of $20,000 as the lead artist. Employees, contractors and members of transit authorities constructing rail and bus lines for Metro are ineligible.

Deadline for submittals (delivery, not postmark!) is 5:00 pm PST on Monday, November 25th, 2013.
