RIVERVIEW RFP BUDGET: $230,000 Deadline: December 8, 2015 From the press release: The City of Norfolk, Virginia seeks an artist to design and create artwork that will be a gateway for Riverview Village. The work should be a fresh, creative representation that is reflective of the riverfront village’s wonderful historic integrity. The gateway artwork will announce that this is a special, cool, hip place to slow down and enjoy. I’m not on this committee, so I don’t mind expressing some bias: I’m rooting for a local artist. So many of you stepped up for The NEON Festival. And you know what? I think that felt real good for a lot of us. I’d like to see the trend continue.

The last Norfolk Public Art Commission project to be unveiled was the Cementiscope, which you can read about here and here . Four local artists. One surreal cement mixer turned kaleidoscope.

Also from the press release:

The artwork needs to be big enough to be viewed by vehicular traffic and must be fabricated in durable, permanent outdoor materials that are safe and easily maintained.

Mark the date. If sculpture isn’t your field, team up with a local sculptor who can handle the job. If you’re a sculptor or builder that can handle the job, gather your most creative friends and dream big.



The next game changer piece of public art in Norfolk. Yesss.
