NOTE:  This opportunity requires the applicant to submit 1-3 concept sketches and narratives as part of the application process. Applicants are not compensated for this up-front design work.

The art must be of a size to ensure visibility and recognition. If a sculpture, it must be free standing, suitable for permanent public display. Acceptable media include, but are not limited to bronze, stone, mosaic, wood, fiberglass, concrete, stainless steel, aluminum or other metals. The safety of the public must be considered. Work should be as vandal-proof as possible. Approval of artwork will be contingent on satisfactorily addressing liability issues and assuring structural integrity. A major consideration in art purchase is durability and limited maintenance cost over time. Artists considering materials to be used should acknowledge the exposure of outdoor art to weather conditions that may exist in Western Missouri. Artworks that are offensive or politically motivated or those which do not meet community standards of decency will not be approved.
