City officials are looking for experienced and professional public artists to help enrich grounds of the new housing development, “The Village” at the Santa Monica Civic Center. Interested artists from around the United States, the world and Santa Monica are asked to submit their qualifications for review by a panel of arts professionals. Since the chosen artist will have a chance to provide input in all aspects of developing the site, previous experience in the creation of a public park or housing development is a desired qualification. The artist will receive $50,000 for his or her collaborative work and designs for The Village.
The Santa Monica Cultural Affairs Division Web site (http://www.arts.santa-monica.org) has additional information about the contest and the entry forms. The deadline for applications is July 22.
