Call For Propsoals - Glick Eye Institute

Glick Eye Institute purchasing art, seeks more Indiana artists for phase II of public art project

August 29, 2012

INDIANAPOLIS -- The art committee at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute will purchase 17 pieces of art created by 15 artists with Indiana ties who displayed their work during a year-long public art project developed to showcase the visual arts in a building dedicated to vision care and research.
“It’s been a real joy to work with the artists, see their proposals, display their works and be able to purchase some of this art that is so reflective of vision, color, light, perspective and reflection,” said Jeff Rothenberg, M.D., chairman of the Glick Eye Institute Public Art Project’s committee. Dr. Rothenberg, associate
professor of clinical obstetrics and gynecology at the IU School of Medicine, also is an artist who works with glass; his hand-blown glass globes hang in the lobby of the eye institute.
The art project was developed to place art in the newest clinical and research building on the IU School of Medicine campus. The Glick Eye Institute is home to the Department of Ophthalmology and was completed in August 2011. The nearly 80,000-square-foot building features ophthalmology and optometry clinics on the ground floor and provides clinical and basic science research labs, physician office space, conference rooms and a library on the second and third floors. The institute was made possible by a $30 million gift from
Indianapolis philanthropists Eugene and Marilyn Glick, as well as other donors.
“Our patients, faculty and staff have enjoyed the artwork selected by the committee,” said Louis B. Cantor, M.D., chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at the Glick Eye Institute. “Each piece tells a story of vision from the perspective of the artist, and it’s been interesting to hear their reactions to the work.”
One of the works selected in the inaugural art project included a glass mosaic titled “Visum,” which was created by a group of middle school students from Fishers.
“The art students at Saint Louis de Montfort School in Fishers were fortunate enough to be chosen to create a mosaic for the library at the Glick Eye Institute,” said Mireille Wannemuehler, art teacher for the creative students. “It was a chance for my students to learn the process, from start to finish, of bidding, planning, creating and viewing public works of art. They have expressed to me that this may have been one of their favorite projects, and they have mentioned a new-found awareness of public art.”
Phase II of the public art project begins this week as Indiana artists again have an opportunity to submit artwork to be considered for display in the Glick Eye Institute. Artwork purchased in the first round includes submissions from photographers, quilters and painters from throughout Indiana, including Indianapolis, Evansville and Nashville.
“We again seek pieces of art that depict or express vision, light, color, perspective and or reflection,” Dr. Rothenberg said. “Opening the art process to the Indiana community gives our Hoosier artists the opportunity to showcase their art in a new building that is dedicated to vision. The university has success
incorporating art created by the community in other School of Medicine buildings, and we believe it is fitting that Indiana artists be invited to contribute their vision of vision to this space.”
Rothenberg said that art for the second round of the project can be created specifically for the building or can be existing pieces that meet the requirements of expressing vision, light, color, perspective and/or reflection. Details about art sought for the building, spaces identified to showcase art and how to submit artwork to be considered for the Glick Eye Institute can be found at www.glick.iu.edu.
“The opportunity to appreciate art is certainly one of the benefits of good vision,” Dr. Cantor said. “We are hopeful that Indiana artists will be excited about the opportunity to showcase their works in the Glick Eye Institute.”
Artists have until Oct. 31 to submit their works for consideration. Artists whose work is chosen for display in the building will be notified by Nov. 30 and will have until the end of 2012 to deliver their works to the building for installation.
Fundraising continues for the Glick Eye Institute’s Public Art Project. For information on supporting the art project, contact Linda Cantor, director of development at the IU School of Medicine, at 317-274-3602, 800-643-6975 or lcantor2@iupui.edu.
Members of the art committee in addition to Dr. Rothenberg include Linda Cantor; Elizabeth Elkas, also with the School of Medicine’s office of Gift Development; Richard Thompson with the IU architect’s office; Kim Harper, chair of the IU School of Medicine’s art committee; Stephanie Brater, community volunteer;
Marianne Glick, artist and daughter of Eugene and Marilyn Glick; and Vicki Hermansen, communications director for the Glick Eye Institute.
The original call for art resulted in more than 50 entries; 35 were selected for display in the building. Of those, 17 works will be purchased for permanent display in the Glick Eye Institute. Several artists donated their works to the Glick Eye Institute for permanent display.
WHAT: Request for submissions from Indiana artists or artists who trained in Indiana to submit art to be
considered for inclusion in the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Eye Institute at the Indiana University School of Medicine. All art must depict or express vision, light, color, perspective and/or reflection.
WHEN: Artists should submit examples of their work and proposals for work to be included in the Glick Eye
Institute by Oct. 31.
HOW: Artwork can be submitted at www.glick.iu.edu.
Information: The full Submission Proposal and photographs of art currently on display in the building can be found on the Glick Eye Institute website, which also includes a booklet describing the art selected for display the first year of the public art project.

Request for Proposals - Legacy Project Recognition Artwork

Request for Proposals - Legacy Project Recognition Artwork

The Project
The John H. Boner Community Center (JHBCC) is requesting qualifications from artists to create a wall-hung artwork that visually represents the accomplishments, energy and excitement created by the “once in a lifetime” moment for our neighborhood and the catalyst of change created by the 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl and Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee.

The piece of art should capture the impact of the Indianapolis Super Bowl Legacy Project and also serve as recognition to the many donors who made the Legacy Projects come to be.

In addition, some part of the creative process will engage neighborhood youth in creating this piece. The staff of the JHBCC and the Chase Near Eastside Legacy Center are available to assist with the coordination of the youth engagement component.

The piece will be permanently installed on the property of the John H. Boner Community Center in a highly visible 10’x10’ location above the main entrance on the second floor.

Finally, the JHBCC is able to have this piece created because of the generous support of the Glick Fund and many other donors. These donors will need to be recognized within the piece itself or on a plaque alongside it.

The Budget
Total Budget = $10,000
• $5,000 – Materials and Supplies. Please note that there are some materials available to the artist at no charge – see “Possible materials to incorporate” below.
• $5,000 – Artist Honorarium.

Timeline
• September 30, 2012 – Entry Deadline
• October 12, 2012 – Artist Selected
• February 5, 2013 – Piece is revealed in conjunction with the Super Bowl

Other than the entry deadline and selection date the only hard deadline is that the piece must be installed before the Super Bowl. The artist will be responsible for scheduling the design, fabrication, and youth participation in such a way to meet the deadline.

Eligibility
Applicant must be 18 years or older and a US resident

Application Procedure
Application will be submitted on www.callforentry.org and includes:
• Brief description of proposed project not to exceed 300 words (this should highlight both the artwork and the youth component)
• Up to 10 images of previous projects and/or renderings of proposed idea
• Resume/CV not to exceed 3 pages

Selection Guidelines
Successful candidates should have the following:
• strong aesthetics
• track record of completed projects of similar scope
• ability to incorporate and work with youth in some aspect of the project
• ability to work within a budget
• ability to work within a deadline

Location and Architectural Facts
Maximum size of artwork: 10’x10’ feet; depth: up to 3’ feet.

Location: Second floor of the JHBCC overlooking ground floor atrium. The wall that one would be attaching to is 20 gauge 6” metal studs. At a bare minimum, it will need to have 2x wood blocking installed at anchor points of the structure. This means cutting the gypsum board, installing the wood, then patching and repainting the entire wall (likely several times due to the color). Depending on the weight, there may be help to support it from the roof joists and/or the steel beam just under the second floor slab. *Please see attached photos and structural floor plan.

Possible materials to incorporate
The JHBCC has certain materials available to the artist at no charge but are not required if the artist does not choose to use them. These materials include extra gym flooring and three bricks from the legacy center; extra field turf (used by the Super Bowl Champions before the game now installed at Tech High School); plagues (legacy), commemorative brick (CommonWealth), Monumental Award (St. Clair Place), ground breaking shovel (legacy center), Super Bowl Banners (from downtown) and a Super Bowl scarf, badges & gear. We also have various event programs, invitations and self-produced materials.

Organization description and history
Founded by the neighborhood in 1971, the JHBCC has grown to provide a wide array of services that impact over 7,000 neighborhood residents annually. Key areas of services include: early childhood development education; tutoring for school-age children; youth and leadership development activities; workforce development services; financial education, coaching and asset building strategies; homeless prevention and crisis intervention; senior housing and housing for homeless individuals and families; senior socialization and wellness programs; and elder adult day services. The JHBCC mission is to inspire neighbors and partners to improve the quality of life on the Near Eastside by providing tools for change and growth.

Inspirational Elements to Draw from
The following list represents some of the success stories/supporters of the Legacy Project. Although none of these are required elements they reflect the spirit of the story this piece of artwork is to tell.

7. Naptown knitters - A group of inmates at a state prison in Indianapolis who call themselves the Naptown Knitters were learning how to knit, guided by prison volunteers. The men slowly picked up speed, creating more than two dozen scarves for the Super Bowl Volunteers.
8. 2012 Trees - As part of the Near Eastside Legacy Project, and in an effort to support the Near Eastside Quality of Life Plan, neighbors planted more than 2,012 trees leading up to the Super Bowl XLVI in partnership with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful's NeighborWoods program and the JHBCC.

This process engaged more than 500 residents in defining seven quality of life indicators, each of which consists of multiple action items with performance measures attached. This work plan, and its promise of revitalization for an entire neighborhood, was attached to the city of Indianapolis’ bid for the 2012 Super Bowl and helped secure it.
18. Clifford Corners - A 49,000 square foot mixed-use development featuring 12,000 square feet of retail and community services space. There will be a total of 36 dwelling units – 32 apartments and 4 condos.

Call For Artists - Art Vs. Art

Art vs. Art 2012 Offers $4,000 Grand Prize

Paint Day returns to the City Market; Main Event returns to the Vogue

INDIANAPOLIS, IN, August 22, 2012 – Primary Colours will present its 9th annual Art vs. Art painting competition at the Vogue Theatre in Broad Ripple on September 28th. In this one-of-a-kind event featuring side-by-side face-offs between same-day created paintings, Art vs. Art contestants compete head-to-head for a $4,000 cash prize. The winner is determined by audience vote; the loser faces the infamous "Wheel of Death," unless an audience member purchases the painting and saves it from a ruinous fate.

Art vs Art begins with Paint Day at the City Market on Saturday, September 8th. Artists pay a $20 entry fee for their chance to compete; a $5 discount is available to those who sign up in advance at artvsart.net. Artists have four hours to create their masterpiece using the 18” x 24” canvas and selection of acrylic paints provided to each participant. The public is encouraged to come and watch the creative process.

At the end of Paint Day, each painting is photographed and posted on www.artvsart.net website, where friends, family and fans can vote for their favorite pieces. After three weeks of voting, the top 32 vote-getters advance to the next stage of the competition.

At the Main Event at the Vogue Theatre on Friday, September 28th, audience members select their three favorite paintings, narrowing the competition down to 16 finalists which move on to head-to-head, on stage battles. During the finals of the Main Event, two paintings at a time are randomly selected from the 16 finalists. Audience noise is measured with a decibel meter to determine each "bout" winner. Each losing painting faces destruction as determined by a spin of “The Wheel of Death.” A painting can only be saved from destruction if the highest bidder purchases it from a live auction after each bout. If the spin of The Wheel of Death results in “Instant Death,” the painting is destroyed on the spot without an auction. Artists receive 70% of the amount from the sale of their paintings.

The one painting to survive four “bouts” will be crowned the Art vs. Art 2012 Champion, and its artist will receive a $4,000 prize, the Title Belt, and full bragging rights. It's a winner-take-all competition. There is no second place prize. The irreverent Leisure Kings Big Band will perform during and after the competition.
