RFQ
North Carolina’s African American Music Trail Bandstand
Canopy
The Kinston Community
Council for the Arts (KCCA) seeks to commission an
artist, artist team, or designer to create a site-specific,
outdoor bandstand canopy which provides functional shelter
for performers and interprets, commemorates, and celebrates
the African American musical history, heritage, and culture
of Eastern North Carolina, in particular the City of Kinston
and Lenoir County. The commissioned artist will design
and produce an artful canopy enhancement to be installed
on an existing, unsheltered bandstand in Pearson Park
(formerly Neuseway Park), overlooking the Neuse River
in downtown Kinston, NC.
This public art and design project will be a prominent
component of the African American Music Trail (AAMT),
a creative economies initiative of the NC Arts Council,
an agency of the NC Department of Cultural Resources,
in partnership with the KCCA, the Golden Leaf Foundation,
the NC Department of Transportation, and local arts councils,
government agencies, musicians, and community stakeholders.
The Pearson Park bandstand component of the AAMT is funded
by a grant from the Golden Leaf Foundation.
Please note: This RFQ is one of two concurrent public
art calls to artists related to the African American Music
Trail in Kinston, but commissioned by two different agencies.
This Kinston Community Council for the Arts RFQ refers
only to the Pearson Park ( formerly Neuseway Park) bandstand
project, not to the separate All-America Park RFQ, which
is under the auspices of the North Carolina Arts Council.
Artists may apply to both RFQs, but separate applications
are required.
Budget is $65,000. Deadline is September 1, 2010. For
more information contact Sandy Landis - slandis@kinstoncca.com
or Matt Amante – mattamante@hotmail.com.

in Saint Paul: Sept 10
Catholic
Charities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, in partnership
with Public Art Saint Paul and the Saint Paul Design Center
landscape, is seeking an artist to develop a proposal
for the design and artistic programming of the Dorothy
Day Center in downtown Saint Paul. During 2010 the artist
will immerse in the Center to gain understanding the mission,
function, service and clientele of Catholic Charities
Dorothy Day Center; explore the landscape and its relationship
to the Dorothy Day facility and use by Dorothy Day clients
and its place in the larger urban context at this critical
downtown gateway site The artist will submit a proposal
for the Dorothy Day landscape and its artistic programming
based upon insights gleaned from this in-depth exploration.
The proposal may include design of the shape and form
of the land, amenities and expressive/interpretive elements
in multiple media (including text and sound) integrated
into the site, and provision for artistic programming.
The Dorothy Day Center provides drop-in services during
the day and overnight shelter for individuals experiencing
homelessness. Dorothy Day provides a hospitable environment
while upholding the dignity of homeless people. The Center
alleviates the immediate suffering for those experiencing
homelessness and provides resources to help individuals
and families move toward self-sufficiency. Services include
hot meals served by volunteers, a food shelf, mental health
services and medical care, including optometry and chiropractic
care. Importantly, Catholic Charities Housing First Outreach
staff help homeless individuals move from the Dorothy
Day Center into permanent housing. Dorothy Day’s overnight
emergency shelter provides shelter housing to 150 homeless
adults. Most nights, about 200 people sleep on mats on
the first floor.Dorothy Day’s Women's Shelter, located
on the second floor, offers a 24-hour shelter with 42
beds and supportive services to help women address their
individual barriers to housing.
Support for this initiative has been provided by the City
of Saint Paul’s Cultural STAR program as Phase 1 of what
is envisioned as a comprehensive initiative that will
fund and implement the artist’s proposal in Phase 2. $25,000
will be available for the artist’s in depth exploration
of the Dorothy Day Center and its urban context and for
the artist’s design and proposal in Phase 1. Additional
funding may be available in Phase 1 to implement a demonstration
project based upon the proposal.
It is open to artists nationwide, however, the project
budget’s capacity to underwrite travel and living expenses
is very modest.
Interested artists must submit the online application
at: www.surveymonkey.com/s/dorothyday.
