from Franklin Furnace

The Boise City Department of Arts & History has an opportunity I’m hoping you can all share with your networks.

The Boise City Department of Art & History invites artists or artist teams to submit qualifications to design artwork to be installed in front of the historic waterwheel in C.W. Moore Park. One artist, or artist team, will be selected and awarded a $100,000 contract to design and fabricate an iconic and meaningful artwork that embodies the significance of the C.W. Moore waterwheel and the identity of the Old Boise Blocks area. The selected artist will develop a proposal, formalize design, respond to feedback, fabricate the work, and transport the work to the site. Construction of the footing/anchor system and installation of the work will be coordinated and managed by the City of Boise and is not anticipated to exceed $50,000.

This call is open to established artists residing in the United States. Idaho artists are strongly encouraged to apply. Artists must be at least 18 years of age. Boise City Department of Arts & History does not discriminate in its programs and activities on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or disability.

All applications must be submitted via the City’s bid platform, JAGGAER.

All the best,

Lianna Hamby
