City seeks proposals for roundabout artwork

Proposals will be accepted through Nov. 1 for public art that will be installed at the traffic roundabout at the intersection of 24 1/2 Road and F 12 Road in Grand Junction.

The Grand Junction Commission on Arts and Culture seeks artwork that’s abstract, colorful and unique and includes creative versions of landscapes and flowering plants.

Artists should submit letters of interest, resumes, proposals and annotated images of their original works to Haley Van Camp — arts, culture and recreation coordinator — by email at
haley.vancamp@gjcity.org.

A selection committee comprised of members of the commission and City of Grand Junction engineering and transportation department will select the winning proposal.

Funding for the project comes from the city’s 1 percent for arts program which budgets 1 percent from certain city capital improvement projects for public art and efforts to a acquire and display public art in public places.

Detailed information about submitting proposals is available from https://www.gjcity.org/169/Call-for-Artists.
