The City of Redmond seeks an artist or artist team to design integrated art and trailside interpretive features for the Redmond Central Connector Phase II, a regional trail running through the heart of Redmond. The deadline to submit portfolios is Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 5 p.m.
The selected artist/artist team will join the RCC Phase II design team to develop and design integrated artistic touchstones, either real or virtual, that bridge nature and an evolving urban environment through cutting edge contemporary art and design. The artist budget is up to $25,000.
Building on the successes of the first phase of the Redmond Central Connector which is currently under construction, the goals for this project include making the trail not just a place with art, but a place that is art. The master plan for the RCC is available at www.redmond.gov/rcc.
