Artists Needed for Egg Harbor Public Art Project

The newly established Public Arts Initiative (PAI) of Egg Harbor announces their first call for permanent public art. The organization was created with a strong belief in the positive impact the arts have on our world and to celebrate the power of art in public spaces. Door County attracts more then four million visitors a season, and with that in mind, they have a goal of establishing Egg Harbor as an art destination community celebrating and showcasing the sculptural works of artists.

PAI seeks qualifications from Wisconsin artists or artist/design teams to design, fabricate and install a permanent public artwork at the Bayview Terrace Park in Egg Harbor. The organization is looking for an artist or artist team to create a work of art inspired by the theme of “Foundations: Past, Present and Future.” Egg Harbor’s Bayview Terrace Park has a majestic view with terraced grounds reaching to the public shoreline. Installation of art is targeted for late November 2017. Budget for artwork is $19,500.

Submissions must be made through CaFE Entry (callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=4155). Deadline for submission is April 30. A full description of the call to artists can be viewed at paiofeggharborwi.org or through CaFE Entry.
