Broomfield Public Art: Art for Awhile 2013

Art for Awhile is an art on loan program created by the Public Art Commission and approved by the Broomfield City Council in 2009. Participating artists are chosen by the PAC to display their art and offer it for sale for one year. The program affords artists increased public exposure and the opportunity to sell their work. The 2013 Art for Awhile Sculpture Project aims to continue the success of the program, strengthening community identity and enhancing the "sense of place" and community pride for people who live and work in the City and County of Broomfield.

Nine pieces will be selected for installation at three landmark locations throughout the community. At 1STBANK Center, a $43 million multi-use live entertainment complex located between Denver and Boulder on US 36, three sculptures will be installed on the main promenade on black powder coated steel pedestals, 48" high and 36" square. Raw steel plates attached to the top of the pedestals allow for tack weld and/or bolt installation. At Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library and Broomfield Auditorium, the cultural center hosting 400,000 visitors annually, three sculptures will be installed on the west side lawn on hexagonal concrete pads measuring 12" high and 36" diameter. At North Metro Fire Rescue District Headquarters, a regional administration complex and training facility serving a district with a population of 90,000 covering 115 square miles, three sculptures will be installed in the sculpture garden at the northwest entrance on hexagonal concrete pads measuring 12" high and 36" diameter. Maximum weight for all sculptures must not exceed 1,000 pounds. Applicants must submit 1-3 images of their work.
