About This Call
The City of Lynn, Downtown Lynn Cultural District, Lynn Office of Community Development, and Lynn Public Arts Commission are seeking an artistic concept for a signature work of art at Mt. Vernon and Exchange Street Plaza. The goal is to install artwork that reflects the spirit of Lynn, enlivens the gateway to the Downtown Lynn Cultural District as a destination, and increases use of the Plaza as a gathering space.
Artists are encouraged to envision concepts for a circular patch of land reserved for public art in the sidewalk plaza at the corner of Mt. Vernon Street and Exchange Street. Pre-qualified public art concepts are eligible for funding up to $75,000, inclusive of materials, artist fees, insurance, design and development, fabrication, contingency, and installation costs. Current residents of Lynn, Massachusetts, and the North Shore are strongly encouraged to apply. The call is open to any resident of the United States aged 18 years or older; however, individuals located outside of Massachusetts must partner with an individual or organization in Massachusetts. Individuals, organizations, and teams with experience in community engagement and the design and fabrication of public art are eligible. Artists lacking experience in either community engagement or the design and fabrication of sculptural artwork must subcontract or partner with another individual or entity that can demonstrate the relevant experience.
Submissions will be received online at www.CallforEntry.org until July 31, 2020 at noon, or physical copies may be delivered to Carolyn Cole, Director of the Downtown Lynn Cultural District, Community Development, Lynn City Hall, 3 City Hall Square, Room 305. Questions must be submitted in writing no later than June 19, 2020 to Marjorie Weinberger at [email protected]. An information session is scheduled for June 5, 2020 from 2:00-3:00 PM EDT. Pre-qualified artist teams will receive up to $1,000 in funding for concept development and will be invited to submit detailed public art concepts by September 22, 2020.
