Artist Information Session: High Line Canal Trail Public Art RFQ

Denver Public Art seeks to commission an artist or artist team to create original public artwork(s) for along the High Line Canal Trail, in the University Hills neighborhood of Denver. The goal of the project is to commission artwork that activates the trail, celebrates the neighborhood’s history and future, and engages users with a sense of motion and connectivity. The commission amount for an artist or artist team is approximately $112,000.00 USD. A selection panel of community representatives, arts and culture professionals and civic leaders has been assembled to identify art opportunities and to select and recommend an artist or artist team for this project. The panel is seeking artists who work in mediums suitable for outdoor display for this project.

Denver Public Art is hosting a virtual pre-application meeting for interested applicants on Tuesday, August 19, at 5 p.m. (MST) via Zoom. The meeting will cover project background and goals, and the application process for this Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Attendees will also receive information via CallForEntry.org, through which artists may apply. Interested applicants are asked to register to receive information on how to join prior to the event. If you cannot attend, a recording will be available on the Denver Arts & Venues Vimeo channel.

Accommodations and interpretation are available upon request, if they are made five days in advance. Please contact Denver Arts & Venues at DAVLanguageAccess@denvergov.org and interpretation, ASL or any other accommodations needed will be provided to you free of charge.
