PUBLIC ART OPPORTUNITY
Request for Qualifications
Market Street
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Receipt Deadline for Applications: February 5, 2010
Budget: $19,500

The Office of Public Art announces a Request for Qualifications for a work of public art on Market Street in Downtown Pittsburgh.

The Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership is working with the Office of Public Art to commission an artist to create a work of public art on Market Street in Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The commissioned work of art will have a lighting component. The artist budget for the project is $19,500. The project will be completed by August 2010.
The Streetscapes Study prepared for the Downtown Living Initiative by the Community Design Center of Pittsburgh suggests streetscape improvements to enhance Sixth and Market Streets as primary pedestrian connection linking the Cultural District, First Side, and Market Square. The City, Mayor's Office, and the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership have embarked on a multi-million dollar project to renovate these corridors.

As part of the overall improvements in this district and following the recommendations of the Streetscape Study, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership decided to commission a work of art to be located on Market Street. The work of art will enhance the pedestrian experience between the triangle park at Three PNC and the newly renovated Market Square, making a strong connection between the Cultural District and Market Square.

Submissions must be received by Friday, February 5, 2010. They may be mailed or dropped off at the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council until 4:00 PM on February 5th. Emailed applications and late applications will not be accepted.

Market party. This will be open to anyone who would like to hang their
2D works up and make a sale. All mediums and medias will be accepted

This will be a one night only event starting at 9pm and lasting into
the night. We will be providing alcohol and refreshments but we are
asking all artists to make a small contribution ($10-20) to help with
the drinks and operation costs, however you will get to keep %100 of
your sales. There will be a $5 all you can drink cover charge for all
other guests. We are encouraging everyone to bring smaller pieces that
are priced lower to sale. We are planning on filling the entire space
with artwork so there is no limit to the number of pieces, but all
pieces may not get hung. All pieces must be ready to hang with frames
and wire with your own labels with your name, title, and price. Pieces
are to be dropped off between January 10th and 21st. This event will
