Request for Proposals: Indianapolis Art Center: Gateway Project Design Competition
RFP: Indianapolis Art Center: Gateway Project Design Competition
Entry Fee: $25
Submission Deadline: October 31, 2010
Award for Winning Design: $1000
Indianapolis Art Center
Exhibitions Department
820 E. 67th St.
Indianapolis, IN 46220
Site Description:
Located in north Broad Ripple Village, along the banks of the White River, lies the state-of-the-art Indianapolis Art Center. The facility opened on May 31, 1996 and was designed by world-renowned architect and Indianapolis native Michael Graves.
The exterior of the building is peach, red ochre and blue and serves as a landmark for Broad Ripple Village and North College Avenue. In 2005, ArtsPark, a 9-acre sculpture garden and park, was completed and opened to the public. In the summer of 2007 ArtsPark expanded to include a sensory path, canoe launch and additional permanent sculptures.
College Avenue at 67th street is the main vehicle entrance to the Art Center. It is a four lane avenue divided by a landscaped median. Traffic heading south bound on College crosses the White River north of 67th and then, entering Broad Ripple, turns left to access the Art Center at 67th. IndyGo (Indianapolis’ bus system) has a northbound and southbound bus stop at this location.
About Broad Ripple Village
You can learn more about Broad Ripple by visiting www.discoverbroadripplevillage.com/home.cfm
Scope of Project:
This gateway will serve as an entryway to first, the Indianapolis Art Center
and second, Broad Ripple Village. The word “art” must be incorporated in to the
overall design. The design must take into account that automobile, bicycle, and
pedestrian traffic will go under this gateway and city and state laws will need
to be observed. Since there are residences nearby loud or bright installations
may not be appropriate.
Additional possibilities for design include incorporating a pedestrian and/or bicycle bridge over College Avenue as part of the design and/or incorporating the existing bus stops into the design. This intersection is near the Monon Rail Trail which is a highly trafficked pedestrian greenway. The gateway should be a work of art in itself and these functional aspects would be secondary to
design.
Modular proposals will be accepted. Allowing several variations on a theme or phases of development is acceptable.
Budget:
A prize of $1000 will be awarded to the winning design. The winning design will become the property of the Indianapolis Art Center with credit given to the creator(s).
Project budget will be funded based on winning design but has not as of yet been determined. Fabrication, insurance, installation, landscaping, travel, architect/artist fees and incidental costs will be covered in the project budget.
Since the money will be raised by the Indianapolis Art Center from private donors the Art Center reserves the right to release the design back to the artist/group if after 3 years from the award date the money has not been realized. This would not affect the payment of the $1000 prize for the winning design.
Furthermore, the Art Center reserves the right to solicit new designs at any time if 3 years from the award date pass and the project budget is not realized.
Eligibility:
This project is open to all architects, artists and designers as well as artist and design teams working in the United States. Individuals must be over 18 years of age.
Selection Criteria:
Primary selection criteria include:
Selection Process:
The Indianapolis Art Center will facilitate the review process. We anticipate involving the Exhibitions, Education, and Development departments as well as members of the Broad Ripple Village Association and local arts professionals.
Entry Fee:
