Call to Artists
Artists Invited to Honor Firefighters
The city of Missoula is in search of an artist to create a celebratory installation in Rose Park.
By Amy Linn, 6-01-09
Missoula’s Public Art Committee is inviting artists to submit proposals for public artwork in the Memorial Rose Garden Park that honors the city’s firefighters, past and present.
The installation, according to the committee’s announcement, should celebrate and inspire, and “need not be limited to the traditional parameters of a memorial. It can encourage viewers to move into and out of its space.”
Here’s more from the press release:
-- The total budget is $40,000, which must cover design, materials, fabrication, shipping, and installation.
-- The project is open to artists living in Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming and Colorado. Professional artists with experience in the field of public art are encouraged to apply.
-- The proposal deadline is June 24.
