The Ballston Business Improvement District, in Arlington, Va., seeks to commission multiple temporary public art installations that explore the interaction of art, science and technology in public space.
The projects would be presented as an ongoing series in spring, 2014. We are primarily seeking responses from artists and innovators living or working in the mid-Atlantic area.
The BID seeks to commission up to nine projects, for which it would provide stipends ranging from $2,000 to $12,000. The BID is seeking a mix of projects, in regard to their duration, media, location and budget; however, all projects must be located in or viewable from key streets and public spaces in the Ballston core.
Questions will be accepted through September 30, and responses are due on October 7, 2013, 4 p.m. EDT.
Responses will be evaluated by a committee of curators, arts administrators and artists familiar with this field.
For more information, contact project coordinator Todd W. Bressi at art[at]ballstonbid.com. The full Call to Artists, and answers to questions, will be posted at www.ballstonbid.com/public-displays-innovation.
