The Sound Transit Art Program (WA), National Request for Qualifications: STart 2018 Artist Pool Expansion
Deadline: February 9th, 2018, 4:00pm PST
The Sound Transit Art Program (STart) has identified many art opportunities to enrich the experience for riders using our transit systems and for the communities surrounding our facilities in the greater Seattle and Central Puget Sound area (WA). Sound Transit is expanding its pre-qualified artist pool for eligibility to be further considered in developing artwork for Sound Transit facilities.
-Artists selected for the pool expansion will remain eligible for Sound Transit art projects for three years
-Artists from the pool short-listed for specific stations will be notified to gauge their interest in the project
-Inclusion in the artist pool does not guarantee an art project
-Sound Transit art reserves the right to supplement the pool as project needs arise
-Artists who were previously qualified for the STart 2016 Roster are still included in the pool and need not apply.
-The pre-qualified artist pool is a key method for involving artists in upcoming Sound Transit projects, but will not be the only method for selecting artists
- Art Budget Range: $3,000—$750,000 for designing and fabricating a variety of large-scale, discreet, temporary, and community engagement art projects.
- Eligibility: Professional artists or artist teams living and working in the United States are eligible to apply.
