Artists Wanted to Create Fire Station Artwork

The following is from the city of Malibu's website:

The Los Angeles County Arts Commission's Civic Art Program is seeking an artist or artist team to execute permanent artwork for Fire Station 71 in Malibu, which is being rebuilt.

The Request for Qualifications states that opportunities for artwork include the addition of decorative tile and/or mosaic to the building's façade and east retaining wall, in keeping with Malibu's historic connection to tile production at Malibu Potteries. The commission seeks artwork that incorporates innovative ideas, which are contextually aware and relevant to the community.

Go here to see the RFQ. The deadline for responding is Jan. 25. 

Questions about the RFQ process may be directed to Erin Harkey, civic art project manager, at 213-202-3985 or eharkey@arts.lacounty.gov. For additional information about the Civic Art Program, go to www.lacountyarts.org/civicart.htm
