The City of Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority is seeking to commission artists or artist teams to design two unique public artwork projects:

 

 

The Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority’s (DDA) Elevate Program aims to fund public art and placemaking installations that enhance the downtown experience for all people. Reflective of this commitment to public art and the Elevate Program goals, the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority is seeking to commission an artist or artist team to design and install unique and creative art as a wayfinding system to connect the Ann/Ashley Parking Structure to the Farmers Market in Ann Arbor, MI.  

 

The installation area will start at the parking structure, follow the south side of Miller Ave/Catherine St to 4th Ave, and 4th Ave to the Farmers Market.  The DDA is open to proposals from different types of artists (including 3D-based artists, 2D-based artists, and designers) and desires a family-friendly, playful, and engaging work that visually connects pedestrians and cyclists throughout the entire path.

 

The City is seeking artists or artist teams who can commit to working in Ann Arbor as necessary to fulfill the responsibilities of this project. Any artist or artist team residing in the United States can apply.

 

All dates except the submission deadline are approximate, subject to change, and are presented for guidance only.
