City of Fort Collins Art in Public Places Program
Request for Proposal (7480)
The Fort Collins Art in Public Places Program is requesting designs from artists 3 to 18 years old. The drawings will be
sandblasted into granite pavers and incorporated into the City’s streetscape.
PROJECT
The City’s Transportation Department works to provide safe pedestrian access by creating new pedestrian routes as well as
improving existing areas. The City requests black & white line drawings, either representational or abstract concepts,
depicting a transportation theme, or life in Fort Collins. The winning designs will be sandblasted into granite pavers and
placed in various sidewalks. The artwork will be a signature piece in Fort Collins and be highly visible to the public.
TIME LINE
Submission Deadline: Must be received by 5 p.m. on April 12, 2013
Finalists Chosen in April
Installation dates and locations: To be determined.
ELIGIBILITY
Artwork will be accepted from youth 3 to 18 years old. The artists are required to reside and/or attend a school within the
City of Fort Collins city limits. Entries will be reviewed in three age categories; 3‐8, 9‐12, and 13‐18. Each artist may submit
only one drawing.
BUDGET
Artists whose designs have been selected by the committee will be awarded $50. Up to 15 designs will be selected.
SELECTION PROCESS
The selection committee may consist of the seven members of the APP Board, two representatives from the City’s
Engineering Department and one City Purchasing Department representative. The committee will review submissions and
either recommend finalists or make a final recommendation. The selection committee reserves the right to reject any or all
entries at any time in the review and selection process.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Suitability of the design to the mission of this project, including form, content, scale and clarity. Fine, intricate details cannot
be rendered in a sandblasted paver, and we reserve the right to edit images for clarity.
