"Call for Artists: Opportunity for Public Exposure of Artwork on a Major Corporate Campus & Sale of Existing Work"
2003-03-05 until 2003-03-31
Ella Sharp Museum
Jackson, MI, USA United States of America

The Public Art Committee of the Arts and Cultural Alliance of Jackson County, Michigan is seeking artists who are interested in submitting already-existing original pieces of public sculpture to be temporarily installed along the Grand River Arts Walk in downtown Jackson. The Arts Walk is a landscaped riverwalk that will be book-ended on the Southeast by Consumers Energy's new corporate headquarters and on the Northwest by the future Armory Arts Project.

A Design Review Board will select one piece that will serve as the focal point of Consumers Energy's corporate plaza. Three additional pieces will be selected for installation along the stretch of the Grand River Arts Walk closest to the corporate plaza. While these four installations will be the first in a public art program newly adopted by The City of Jackson, they are in close proximity to an already existing installation of Summer Night Tree, a work by internationally acclaimed sculptor Louise Nevelson.

All works selected by the Design Review Board will be marketed as available for purchase during their two-year temporary installation period. Artists will be reimbursed for all costs associated with transportation and installation of a selected work. Proceeds from the purchase of a selected work will go to the Artist. A major unveiling of selected pieces is planned in conjunction with the grand opening celebration of Consumers Energy Corporation‚s new headquarters early this summer. Interested artists should visit the Ella Sharp Museum web site  www.ellasharp.org and click on Call for Artists: Public Sculpture Downtown. You can also call The Ella Sharp Museum at (517) 787-2320. Deadline for submissions is 5:00pm, March 31, 2003.
