RFP: City of Hillsboro Temporary Public Artwork

The City of Hillsboro, Oregon seeks to acquire a temporary public artwork for an existing, transitional outdoor space; total budget for this project not to exceed $4,000.

Project Summary: The site is a former fountain that is no longer able to be utilized for its original purpose. The City desires to transform the site into a temporary (18 months to 2 years) public art feature, while waiting for new construction to begin on the site. At the close of the temporary period, the City will either end the lease on the artwork and release it to the artist or pursue permanent acquisition of the piece. Existing art that is one of a kind, or of a limited series, will be considered.
 

The project is open to all artists or design teams, age 18 and over, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, military status, sexual orientation, marital status, or physical or mental disability.
