Deadline October 15th
The City of Lake Forest Park and the LFP Garden Tour Committee are seeking an artist/s from the greater Puget Sound area to create a significant 3-dimensional artwork for Horizon View Park. The art piece will be free-standing and located in an outdoor area visible to motorists and pedestrians and park users. The artwork will reference the history and location of the area and be in harmony with its surroundings. It may be abstract or traditional, and possibly functional. It must be composed of materials suitable for long-term outdoor display/use and easy to maintain. The artwork must be new work created for this site.
Up to $40,000 including Washington State sales and use tax, is available for this project. This amount will cover the artist’s time, labor and insurance, artwork design, materials, fabrication, engineering if necessary, transportation of the artwork to the site and installation.
Locale and Area Activities
The sculpture will most likely be located in an area near the entrance and/or play ground at Horizon View Park which is located at the highest point in Lake Forest Park. This area has mounding terrain and would be enhanced by a creative bench or other interactive element. The park provides an opportunity to contemplate the night sky, surrounding mountains and territorial landscape. Amenities for active use of Horizon View Park include a soccer field, tennis court, half-court basketball, walking paths around a reservoir and through a wooded area, picnic tables, and a playground. Horizon View Park is located in a residential neighborhood and is enjoyed by all ages and abilities. While there are several pieces of public art in the Town Center/City Hall area of LFP, this will be the first public art installation in the Horizon View Park neighborhood.
