Artist Permanent Bike Racks
Roswell, Georgia
Summary: The City of Roswell has been designated as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists for eleven years in a row. Roswell was the first city in Georgia to receive this recognition in 2006.
Roswell Arts Fund in partnership with the City of Roswell, Georgia, is seeking artists’ qualifications for the design and fabrication of up to ten (10) free form bike racks at high visibility locations in our retail/restaurant areas and park system. This call is for non-traditional bike racks that should be functional and artistically innovative. All bike racks will become a dynamic part of Roswell’s public art collection. All sites and installed bike racks will comply with city standards, codes, and policies as identified in this RFQ
Budget: Selected artists will be awarded a commission of up to $5000 dependent on the submitted cost analysis for design, fabrication, transportation, installation and related expenses.
Deadline: 11/19/2018 11:59 AM Central Time
How to apply: by email
Eligibility Requirements: This call is open to all professional artists and artist teams. Students enrolled in degree programs are not eligible to apply. Applicants must be 18 or older.
Special Notes: Artist Bike Racks will support and encourage bicycling and the efforts of several bike organizations such as Bike Roswell by enhancing safety, providing much needed bike parking, elevating Roswell’s brand, improving our aesthetic experience, and building our public art collection. In Historic Roswell, which is increasingly dense, adding bike racks will encourage an alternative mode of transportation addressing issues with both traffic congestion and parking shortages.
Great cities integrate art, aesthetic elements into the fabric of who they are and that means integrating aesthetic elements into the design of the structure of everyday life. Bike racks are a wonderful way to capture a city’s vibe, provoke curiosity, and a smile.
We seek artwork that captures the spirit and brand of Roswell, is compelling for residents and visitors, and connects to the cultural energy of the various neighborhoods and city. If possible, a visit to the city and potential sites is recommended.
