Compensation
Artists will be compensated $750 per artwork, so time, materials, transportation and installation costs should be factored accordingly. Artworks will be purchased for the ArtSpot program, with ownership of the work(s) transferred to Downtown Ventures. Name recognition will be given to artists when works are photographed for digital or print display. Artworks will be listed on downtowncs.com and associated digital and print publications.
Specifications
- Artwork base must be configured to fit existing ArtSpot planter armatures (detailed specification diagram)
- Artworks should be no larger than 48″ in height and 36″ wide
- Preference will be given to artworks that are light enough to be moved by two people without additional equipment
- Works must be highly durable and able to withstand cold, temperature fluctuations, wind, ice, and snow. Surface finish should be resistant to graffiti and easy to clean/maintain.
- Flowers will be installed around the base of the artwork during summer months, so artwork should be impervious to regular waterings.
