Orange County Convention Center Seeks Wall-Hung Artwork to Purchase

The Orange County Public Art Review Board (OCPARB) seeks completed artwork appropriate for the world-class Orange County Convention Center (OCCC), the Center of Hospitality, in Orlando, Florida. The OCCC values nature, water and ecology. The community that hosts the Center has grown from being a major citrus producer and leader in tourism to a center of innovation and technology as well.

Project Description: Some of the smaller spaces, such as boardrooms, conference room, café, etc. at the Center would be enhanced with art on the walls. The spaces are frequently used by OCCC clients and the artwork should be a professional enhancement to the room. Our budget will purchase art for up to 11 walls.  A wide spectrum of photography, painting, prints or other 2-dimensional art are possibilities.

Budget: The total artwork budget for all pieces to be purchased is $58,500.  Artwork to be purchased must be ready to hang. Purchase price must include all costs including framing or finishing, shipping and delivery.
