Alternative Energy Powered Artwork Commission for Concourse A, Terminal 1, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport

The Broward Cultural Council Public Art and Design Program is seeking to commission a professional artist or team of artists to create an original integrated sustainable, solar, or alternative energy powered artwork for Concourse A of Terminal 1 at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

The artwork will be located in the new Concourse A, a five-gate concourse that will be added to Terminal 1 just east of Concourse B. This new facility will provide a security checkpoint area, passenger waiting rooms, and concessions. The selected artist or team must create an original design that is innovative, vibrant, inspiring, welcoming, and environmentally conscious. Artwork must be powered by solar energy or any other alternative and sustainable energy source. The artwork will be permanent, low maintenance, and in compliance with safety regulations. Artwork designs include, but are not limited to, kinetic and self-illuminating artworks. Non-solar or non-energy conscious artworks will not be considered.

The project is open to all professional artists working in any media, including traditional fine arts, multimedia arts, and design arts. The total budget for the project is $270,000, which includes all costs: research, community and agency meeting costs, design, materials, fabrication, installation, insurance, proposals, travel, sales tax, and transportation. Artists must be able to work effectively within the aggressive project timeline and collaborate with the architect of record, general contractor, and multiple governmental and community groups. Applications must be submitted via CaFÉ at www.CallForEntry.org and include a letter of interest, professional résumé, 10 digital images of recent work, and an annotated image list.
