Call for Artists - Art in Public Places

RFP 2024DD-02

Purpose

The City of Kyle Arts and Cultural Board is seeking professional services for design and installation of a piece of Artwork in the City of Kyle, TX.

Background

The City of Kyle Arts and Cultural Board has a strong desire to develop a program for Public Arts. To spearhead this program, the Board is seeking a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of artwork to be placed at a location that is to be determined by the artist. The Board is looking for a unique, one-of-a-kind, large-scale piece of artwork such as a sculpture or monument that is appropriate for its proposed placement. The Board’s vision is an art piece that is contemporary in style and visually striking. If moving parts are included, the Board’s visions would be for these parts to utilize a natural energy source such as wind or solar power. Texas-based artists and artist-led teams are invited to submit proposals to be considered for design, fabrication, and installation of a unique art piece that meets the criteria outlined in this Request For Proposals (RFP).
