Seattle seeks artist for new First Hill Streetcar artwork

Seattle’s Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs seeks an artist to develop site-integrated artwork for the First Hill Streetcar line, which will connect the Chinatown/International District transit station to the future Capitol Hill light rail station via First Hill. The new line is part of the Seattle Streetcar Network.
The selected artist will work with the Seattle Department of Transportation and consultants from the early stages of design through construction. Artwork and design enhancements will be incorporated during construction of the streetcar line. Artists with experience in both art and design would be well-suited for this project.

Construction of the two-mile line is scheduled to begin in 2011 and end in 2013.

Eligibility: Open to professional artists residing in the United States.

Budget: $600,000 all-inclusive.

Deadline: 11 p.m., Monday, Feb. 22, 2010 (Pacific Time)
