The County of Durham, North Carolina is seeking artists or artist teams to design permanent public artwork in the form of a parking deck screen wall. Candidates should have experience creating structural building components as public art elements.
BUDGET: $225,000
ELIGIBILITY: Professional artists over 18 eligible to work in the United States
DEADLINE: September 29, 2020
This installation will be highly visible to all pedestrians, passing traffic and visitors to downtown Durham who approach on Main Street from east of the Roxboro Road intersection. Durham County’s design award-winning new Main Library is sited behind this parking deck, and its design award-winning Durham County Human Services Building is located diagonally across Main Street from the site. The East Main Street area has long been under-served, and this project is the beginning of a concerted effort to create a distinct neighborhood just east of the downtown core, and to connect Main Street from East to West through downtown. This area is being planned to incorporate mixed uses, incomes and modes of transportation, of which this parking garage is the first step.
