PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS
North Berkeley Senior Center: Artwork is being commissioned for the entry plaza and will be integrated with the seating and planted areas. This entry plaza will be a space where building users can gather to socialize, play games and enjoy time spent outdoors. The artwork will complement the plaza design and may include sculptural seating or other interactive and functional sculptural elements. It may also include decorative and integrated treatments to the space such as tile or other durable media for the vertical retaining walls.
Budget: One artist or artist team will be selected for this project site and the artwork budget is up to $100,000 which is inclusive of all costs including artist fees, artwork materials, fabrication and installation.
?
San Pablo Park: Artwork is being commissioned in conjunction with the park renovations. The artworks may include functional, sculptural or integrated durable two dimensional treatments and may address any part of the park site. Artists may consider opportunities for artwork to integrate into the soon-to-be-constructed park improvements, such as the new tennis court fencing or any new retaining walls. The artwork may also be free standing or surface mounted and may include landmark or wayfinding sculptural elements or sculptural seating or interactive kinetic sculpture. All artwork must be both durable and meet all codes and safety standards.
Budget: Up to two artists or artist teams will be selected for this project site and the combined artwork budget for all artwork for this site is $200,000 and is inclusive of all costs including artist fees, artwork materials, fabrication and installation. If more than one artist or artist team is selected, the total budget allocation will be split between the two selected artists/artist teams.
