The exhibition space will span almost eight miles, including the recently opened Eastside Trail stretching from 10th Street and Monroe Drive to Irwin Street. Artists are encouraged to submit proposals that marry their artistic visions with the landscape and sustainability themes of the Atlanta BeltLine.
Proposals should reflect the historic, environmental, cultural, functional, urban design and/or aesthetic parameters of the potential sites and should be well-researched by the candidates. Potential projects could include sculptures, murals, music, dance, theater, performance art, amenities for visitors, planting or environmental works, and more.
The submission deadline is April 10, 2013. The RFP can be found online at art.beltline.org and is available for download now. Installation will begin in June and projects must be installed no later than August 31, 2013.
