Dallas Love Field Airport - Phase II Public Art Commission

The Love Field Airport Modernization Program invites public art commissions for Dallas Love Field to be completed by September 2017, the 100th Anniversary of the Airport. The public art budget for new commissions is $1.6 million dollars, with each location assigned a budget commensurate with the scope and size.

Locations for new public art commissions include: Spirit of Flight Park (10,000 SF open space at the entrance to parking garages A and B), Ticketing Hall Entrance (2 story wall space with high visibility from pedestrians), Pedestrian Walkway (from new parking garage C to the Ticketing Hall), Pedestrian Bypass Corridor (pedestrian corridor to bypass the Ticketing Hall directly to concourse), and Atrium at Building A (public entrance atrium at Administration Building). Short-listed artists will be assigned locations for the design phase based on selection panel recommendations and will be provided site requirements, limitations, and commission budget information. The budget assigned to each project must cover all costs including artist's fee, travel, lodging and per diem, insurance, materials, shop drawings, engineer's fees and drawings, graphic design, and miscellaneous supplies.

The Public Art Program at Love Field will focus on welcoming passengers to the Airport, enhance the "DECIDEDLY DALLAS" identity, support a positive experience of airport spaces, and showcase art to express the vibrant culture of Dallas. Artwork must be durable and appropriate for the site. Preference will be given to residents of North Texas. All professional artists are eligible to apply, except for artists currently under contract with the City of Dallas Public Art Program. Employees of the City of Dallas, their spouses, members of the Public Art Committee, or any consultants under contract for any phase of these projects are ineligible. The City of Dallas Cultural Policy prohibits undergraduate students from being considered for Public Art projects. Applicants must demonstrate successful completion of a public art project with a budget of at least $50,000, demonstrated ability to work with a design team to meet the goals for the Love Field Modernization Program, ability to attend scheduled community and design team meetings in Dallas or by phone, and ability to design, fabricate and install a project at the selected location within the budget granted by September 2017.
