Silver Gardens Project Prospectus is Out Now Call to Artists New Mexico

The Public Art Program is requesting proposals for a public art project in downtown Albuquerque. 

Prospectus image

The site for the artwork is located at the southern downtown area at the junction between 1st and 2nd Streets, bordered on the southern edge by the Lead Avenue overpass at a parking structure and will support a unique, one-of-a-kind artwork that could become a destination for residents and visitors alike. It is a compact, tight site with narrow spaces and an overall lack of thematic branding. It is an urban space that suggests a whimsical, conceptual or off-beat artwork that will encourage a walk to view it.

Prospectus

For more information please download the PDF Project Prospectus.
Please watch this video "walk through" of the proposed project site to get a better idea of the space.

Deadline

Deadline for all submissions is 5 p.m. MST April 20, 2011.
The Public Art Program expects to execute a contract in the spring of 2011. Project updates will be available on the Public Art website and our new e-newsletter.
