The City of Sugar Land, Civic Arts Division is seeking artists for its Pre-qualified Artist Roster!
The Roster will be used in the following ways:
1. As projects are identified and budgeted, staff may develop a shortlist of pre-qualified artists from the Roster and invite them to indicate their interest and availability for the commission. If they are interested and available, artists may be invited to participate in an interview or other selection process with project stakeholders.
2. Staff may also identify one or more pre-qualified artists from the Roster and invite them to submit a paid conceptual proposal for a project or commission that has been identified and budgeted.
3. Staff may use the Roster to connect artists and others to resources and opportunities.
4. Staff may make the Roster available to public agencies, private businesses and other organizations seeking to commission artists for projects in the public realm.
In addition, all Roster artists will be notified of open calls not using the Roster that may be available for artists through the city of Sugar Land’s Civic Arts Program.
Note: Artists whose body of work is juried through another City of Sugar Land opportunity using a selection panel to review work samples and qualifications may be invited to join the Roster.
GOALS
This program is designed to respond to the goals established in the city of Sugar Land’s Public Art Plan adopted by the city council in 2016. The Goals for Public Art specified in the plan are to:
- Create memorable, meaningful places that are focal points for civic and community life,
- Anchor activity centers,
- Create whimsy and delight in everyday places
- Enhance the appearance of infrastructure,
- Enhance the appearance of civic facilities, and
- Reflect Sugar Land’s history and heritage.
BUDGET
