The City of Sherwood is seeking an artist, or artist team, to design a series of eight (8) stainless steel
medallions that will be permanently installed on the 99W Pedestrian Bridge. This art would be visible
to pedestrians using the bridge as they cross over Hwy 99W. The City envisions artwork around the
theme of “Who Walked Here?” The following questions guide this artwork:
• Historically, who has called this area home?
• In whose footsteps are we traveling today as we walk from one side of the city to the other?
• Along with people, what types of animals and wildlife might have traveled this route?
This opportunity is open to artists of all mediums with public art experience, with preference given to
artists who are based in, or have a significant body of work in, the Pacific Northwest.
Proposals and statements of interest are due no later than 5:00 P.M., PDT, on Tuesday, July 1, 2025.
The City may elect to accept, reject or reopen this solicitation at their sole discretion, should it be
deemed necessary.
A. Budget
The artist should include a line item project budget which includes the artist’s design fee,
estimated materials cost, and travel costs (if applicable).
B. Scope of Work
This is a design project, with elements of collaboration with community stakeholders. The
artist will also work with the fabricators to see the process through to completion.
The competition is open to all artists. The selected artist will work with City staff and the Cultural Arts Commission to design
a series of eight (8) pieces of artwork for this outdoor site.
It is preferred that artists have experience working within the public process in public
settings, as well as a proven ability to work with fabricators and installers.
