Floor Design Project 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 floor design for Concourse A of Terminal 1 at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

The artwork will be located in a circulation area at the center axis of Concourse A, approximately 450 feet long by 30 feet wide. The selected artist or team must create an original design that offers a unique visual experience for travelers that is welcoming, enlivening, and enhances the aesthetic appearance of these high-traffic spaces. The floor design must be seamless and require low maintenance. The total project budget is $500,000, which includes all costs: research, community and agency meeting costs, design, materials, fabrication, installation, insurance, proposals, travel, sales tax, and transportation.

The project is open to all professional artists working in any media, including traditional fine arts, multimedia arts, and design arts. 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. The application deadline is Friday, May 9, 2008 at 12:00 Midnight Mountain Standard Time. Contact Christina Roldan, Public Art and Design Project Manager, at (954) 357-8542 or [email protected].
