Deadline: July 31, 2022 12:00am
Budget: $135,000
Eligibility: Open to all artists and artist teams

The Norfolk Arts Commission, the National Endowment for the Arts Our Town program, and the Ohio Creek Watershed planning committee seek to commission an artist to design and create exterior artwork. The City of Norfolk has received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts Our Town program to hire an artist to design and create artwork that will celebrate the Elizabeth River, the community, and the NDR Ohio Creek Watershed Project; a flood risk management and resiliency project.

They are seeking an artist to design public art that will reflect the values and challenges and tell the stories of the people who live in this historic shoreline community. The artwork should reflect the diversity of culture and heritage and connect the two neighborhoods. They hope the artwork will be a fluid, thought provoking example of resiliency.
