Artists needed for Snoqualmie state highway sculpture project

Published 1:09 pm Monday, May 12, 2014

The city of Snoqualmie is renovating a section of State Route 202/Railroad Avenue Southeast (SR 202) in historic downtown Snoqualmie. The Snoqualmie Arts Commission wishes to purchase or commission a unique three-dimensional sculpture to be installed at the project site. The artwork location is proposed for the intersection of State Route 202 and S.E. King St. Sculptures may be new or existing. A permanent concrete base may be used as a foundation for the artwork.

The deadline to apply is June 6, 2014. The artwork installation date may be in 2014 or 2015.  This sculpture project has an all-inclusive public art budget of $45,000, including taxes. This amount is based on the required Art in Public Places Program (AIPP), which facilitates the acquisition, placement, and stewardship of artwork in state-funded building projects throughout Washington. Details about this project, including artwork requirements, time frame, application details, and location, are posted on the city of Snoqualmie website at www.cityofsnoqualmie.org; see link in the “Public Participation” box.
