4Culture wants to know: is your art good enough to be experienced by commuters throughout South King County?<\/p>\n
In collaboration with King County Metro Transit, 4Culture, the “cultural funding agency for King County,” is looking for an artist or art team to develop public art for the new RapidRide I Line transit corridor that will connect Auburn, Kent and Renton. The deadline is 4 p.m. July 13.<\/p>\n
“This public art call is about elevating local histories and cultures by telling a story that unfolds over space and time,” said Christina DePaolo, communications director for 4Culture.<\/p>\n
Called “Small But Mighty,” 4Culture seeks to develop a series of small sculptures and retaining wall treatments for the corridor. The budget for the project is $100,000 for the design and $425,000 for implementation, totaling $525,000.<\/p>\n
Regarding eligibility, the project is open “to professional artists, working independently or as a team with a solid history of collaboration, that reside in the United States.”<\/p>\n
If chosen, the artist or art team must follow King County Public Health and national COVID-19 protocols, and some travel to King County is expected throughout the project timeline.<\/p>\n
According to the 4Culture website, the selection process after the July 13 application deadline will continue into August, with applicants being notified on Aug. 15.<\/p>\n
Applications must be made through 4Culture’s online system and must include a profile with contact information, a 500-word-or-less statement of interest, a two-page professional résumé that is up to date and 10 work samples. Of the 10 samples, up to two can include audio or video files that must not exceed a cumulative run-time of three minutes.<\/p>\n
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, King County experienced a budget gap that has pushed the planned dates for the RapidRide I Line to launch in 2026. The public art project is expected to run from September 2022 until September 2026.<\/p>\n
