CFD Firehouse 44 RFQ

The Arts & Science Council is accepting qualifications from U.S. based artists/artist teams for a public art opportunity for the City of Charlotte’s, Charlotte Fire Department, Firehouse #44 located at 7800 Dixie River Rd., Charlotte, NC. This RFQ represents an opportunity for an artist, or team of artists, to create a highly visible, wall-based artwork sited on the two-story wall adjacent to the training staircase. The selected artist will work with the ASC, staff from the City of Charlotte’s General Services Department, ADW Architects, CFD representatives, and local communities to create artwork that is complementary to the architecture and design of the building. The impactful artwork should also reference the history, commitment, and service of the Charlotte Fire Department. In addition, the artwork should relate to the neighborhood identity of the River District community and reference the Catawba River.
