RFQ: Commonlink Public Art Project
PROJECT: CommonLink, An Interactive Transportation & Information SubStation, Shreveport, LA
BUDGET: $100,000 for technical design only
DEADLINE: Wednesday, November 16, 2011, MIDNIGHT (C.S.T.)
The Shreveport Regional Arts Council (SRAC) on behalf of the City of Shreveport is seeking to commission an artist or artist-led design team to create a unique vision for CommonLink, Shreveport’s first interactive transportation and information substation that will serve as the hub for all forms of transportation, information, communication, and community engagement. The design of CommonLink will launch the development of Shreveport’s Cultural District, SHREVEPORT COMMON, which will transform a neglected, 9-block area in the western part of downtown Shreveport.
The selected artist will create a unique vision for the block-long CommonLink with a design that will house a bus shelter, taxi stand, shuttle stop, seating, and an interactive communication center that will provide assistance to tourists and residents alike by providing maps and historical information, giving walking, biking and transportation information, as well as recommending restaurants, events, and attractions. The successful design for CommonLink will also integrate parking for mopeds and a police car, a security “blue light”system, charging stations, ATM, Wi-Fi, green areas, innovative lighting, and bike racks that will be designed by local artists.
More than a transportation station, CommonLink is envisioned as a "transformation station" - the critical first-step in defining, developing, and populating this historic downtown cultural district. CommonLink will serve the current and future residents of SHREVEPORT COMMON, bring visitors to the area for events and tours, and create a place that not only dignifies public transportation while encouraging pedestrian and bicycle traffic, but makes it fun, exciting and informative.
For the complete RFQ detailing submission requirements, scheduling, and additional project information, please go to http://shrevearts.org/arts-culture/public-art-2/

Call for Artists: White River State Park Sculpture Program
White River State Park Seeks Submissions for Outdoor Sculpture Program
White River State Park is pleased to announce that it will continue to support an exterior sculpture exhibit program. The primary purpose of this exhibition is to enhance the artistic and cultural opportunities within the state. It is hoped that residents and visitors to Indiana's capital city will appreciate and become engaged in the visual dialogue of these contemporary sculptures. Each cycle, the Park has continued to make changes to the program. The program is now open to any sculptor in Indiana or the Midwest and the Commission will pay up to a maximum of $5,000 to help with transporting the sculpture to and from Indianapolis (mileage and receipts must be provided). In addition, the park will pay an honorarium of $5,000.
The Park will continue to display at least six, large-scale exterior sculptures reflecting diversity of materials, approaches and content on the Old Washington Street Bridge (now a pedestrian walkway connecting venues on the east and west sides of the river) in White River State Park. Rather than change out all of the sculptures every two years, they are now going to only change out two or three sculptures every year and the period of time the work will be displayed will be for 3 years. The Park is the only urban state park in the country and is located in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. The New York Times has referred to the Park as "Indianapolis' version of the Mall in Washington." In addition to acres of green spaces the Park is home to six major tourist attractions. Over 3 million people visit the Park each year.
The work must be constructed of materials able to endure the conditions of an outdoor exhibition. The sculptures must be suitable for public display and not present safety issues.
Artists must be 18 years or older. Each selected artist will be awarded a $5,000 honorarium for his or her participation. In addition, the Park will pay up to a maximum of $5,000 in expenses to help transport the sculpture to and from Indianapolis (mileage and receipts must be provided) and the installation and removal of the piece from the Park. White River State Park carries property/physical limited insurance on the sculptures only; however, you must also insure the sculpture for any damage that may be incurred by weather or other acts of God. The Park will provide assistance for installation and dismantling. Artists will receive sign recognition near the sculpture.
Schedule: electronic images on a CD of pieces of art available for exhibition must be postmarked no later than Friday, December 9, 2011. Selected artists will be notified by January 13, 2012. Installation of work must be completed by April 13, 2012. Exhibition ends March 2015.
The submissions will be screened by a committee of individuals who are recognized in the field of contemporary art and art in public places, as well as representatives of White River State Park Commission and staff.
Please provide with your application electronic images of pieces available for the exhibition taken from several different views, labeled with name, medium, dimensions, and date and an image annotation script. If it is a work in progress, please submit a sketch or drawing; the drawing should be specific as to the material and color to be used in the pieces. The work must, however, be completed and installed by April 13, 2012. The Park reserves the right to not accept sculptures that are not completed and installed by this date. Please also provide a resume and an artist's vision and thoughts in creating the sculpture. Submissions will be returned if a self-addressed stamped envelope is provided. Please send the requested information to: Malia Fledderman, White River State Park, 801 West Washington St., Indianapolis, IN 46204.
For additional information, please contact Donna Imus at theimusgroup@mac.com or (317) 636-1420.

Individual Art Program Grant Application Now Open
Individual Artist Program Application Now Open
The Indiana Arts Commission recently announced that it is currently accepting online applications for Individual Artist Program grants.
Hoosier artists in selected disciplines may begin the online application process now through February 2, 2012.
Application guidelines and the online grant application system are currently accessible on the IAC website at http://www.in.gov/arts/individualartistprogram.htm.
Artists should be aware that the application for IAP grants will only be available through the online grant application system, and artists are encouraged to read through the guidelines before beginning the application process.
Eligible projects will only be considered in the areas of crafts, design art, media art, photography, visual arts, and folk arts related to these traditional disciplines.
Individual artists living and working in Indiana may apply for up to $2,000 from the IAP grant, which requires no matching funds. The grants are intended to assist artists with specific project-related costs that will help them further their careers, and provide public benefit through the completed project.
"Projects developed through these grants not only help artists further their careers, but also provide vehicles for their talent to be shared in their communities through exhibitions, demonstrations, and other instructional opportunities," said IAC Executive Director Lewis C. Ricci.
Applicants must be 18 years of age, must be an Indiana resident for at least one year prior to the application, and plan to remain in the state for the full grant period. Eligible artists may not be enrolled in a degree-granting program. All projects must be completed between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013.
Applicants are encouraged to carefully read the grant guidelines. If there are additional questions, please contact Susan Britsch at sbritsch@iac.in.gov.
Applications must be submitted through the Indiana Cultural Grants Online (http://indiana.cgweb.org/) no later than February 2, 2012.
