Current Public Art Opportunities

 

Site Furnishings & Amenities Program

Site FurnishingsOpen: Now
Due: Open
San Diego, California

Description: The Port of San Diego is developing a portfolio of artistic and functional site furnishings for its tideland parks and public spaces around San Diego Bay.

The portfolio will be used to select artists for commissions as they arise. Artists are invited to participate by submitting new proposals or examples of past or existing works. The goal of the program is to incorporate, where feasible, artworks as site furnishings in lieu of commercially available products and to provide the public with opportunities to donate artistically designed items for display and use on Port tidelands.

The portfolio also would be used to select site furnishings for other development projects as needed. The most immediate requirement is for artistic bench designs, but other suitable site furnishings could include such items as bollards, fountains, hardscape, lighting, playground items, shade structures, arbors, tree grates, and trash/recycling receptacles.

Proposals must include design, fabrication and delivery. Project budgets vary depending on need: $2,500 and up per item. Download RFP at right or call (619) 686-7246.
