Lakeport seeking art for Lakefront Park: Proposal deadline extended to October 11
The deadline for proposals for mid-range to large-scale sculptural and/or innovative, mixed or multimedia installations to be showcased in the new lakefront park development in downtown Lakeport at 800 and 810 North Main Street has been extended to Tuesday, October 11, at 4 p.m.
Awards to successful applicants will range from $5,000 to $20,000, depending on the scale and budget of the proposed work, which includes materials, artist’s labor, installation needs, and any necessary travel expenses. Proposals with interactive components are encouraged.
Lake County artists and Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) are strongly urged to submit proposals; there are no geographic restrictions for applications.
Proposed art works must be made of materials that can endure the outdoors and extreme weather in a public setting. All object-based sculptures must be securely mounted to the ground or a plinth base at the designated site; all work must be safe for pedestrian traffic.
The call for artists may be viewed on the City’s website, www.cityoflakeport.com/bid_opportunities.php
In January 2020, the City of Lakeport was awarded a competitive grant from the California Department of Parks and Recreation funded by Proposition 68, the California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection and Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018. After two years of design, the project is ready for construction.
