Broward Cultural Division’s Public Art & Design Program is seeking to commission one or two artists or artist teams to design, build and install functionally-integrated public art projects for two new social services facilities that are projected to share a joint campus in Broward County. This National “Call to Artists” will have a Two Week Only window for response, beginning on January 16 and ending on the application deadline, January 29, 2013.
The Broward Addiction Recovery Center (BARC) and the Nancy J. Cotterman Center (NJCC) is expected to be co-located on a site of nearly 4-acres in Fort Lauderdale. The site will include a two-story building approximately 38,500 square feet to house a 50-bed detoxification unit, counseling services and other related functions for BARC, and a one- or two-story building approximately 17,500 square feet to house counseling services and other related functions for NJCC.
This is a fast-track project for the artist selection process and for the artist(s) to collaborate with the design team to integrate the artwork to the site. Interested artists should apply only if they are able to commit intensive time to the project during the spring of 2013 when the most effective collaborations with the design team are anticipated to occur.
The total budget established for the (BARC) Project is not to exceed $172,300, and the total budget established for the (NJCC) Project is not to exceed $78,100. The same artist may be selected for both projects, or, different artists may be selected for each project.
