BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The Rio Marine Village project, located both north and south of Dixie Highway, will remove the roundabout at Martin Avenue and replace it with two, one that designates the entrance to the north development and one indicating the entrance to the south.
The Public Art Advisory Committee, at the January 22, 2024 meeting directed staff to utilize a Call to Artists selection process that begins with a Request for Qualifications. A Selection Committee reviews the RFQ submissions of the artist or artist group applicants and chooses finalists based on evaluation criteria such as images/videos of completed relevant artwork, CV/Resumes, professional references, letter of interest that briefly describes their intended concept, artistic style, background, past projects and how they relate to this project. Finalists would then present their projects, including concept, design, detailed budget, installation, projected maintenance, etc. A draft RFQ will be sent via email.
Public art has been anticipated in the Rio CRA for many years. The Neighborhood Advisory Committee has dedicated dollars to Creative Placemaking, and the community is supportive.
