City of Fort Collins Art in Public Places Program—Celebrating 20 Years!
Request for Proposal
The Fort Collins Art in Public Places Program is requesting black & white line drawings that celebrate the history of the Northside
neighborhoods: Buckingham, Andersonville/San Cristo/Via Lopez, and Alta Vista. The selected drawings will be sandblasted into
granite pavers and incorporated in new sidewalks in these neighborhoods in Fort Collins, Colorado.
PROJECT
This paver project is part of the ongoing implementation of neighborhood projects from the Lincoln Corridor Plan. The City requests
black and white line drawings that celebrate the history of the Northside neighborhoods (e.g. the Hispanic, German‐Russian
heritage, sugar beet industry, etc.) For more information on the history, please visit fcgov.com/Lincoln. Artists of all ages are
encouraged to submit. We also encourage families to create a drawing together. The winning designs will be sandblasted into
granite pavers and placed into new sidewalks around the neighborhoods.
TIMELINE
Submission Deadline: Must be received by 5 p.m. on August 28, 2015
Finalists Chosen: September 2015
Installation dates and locations: Fall 2015 to Fall 2016, locations to be determined.
ELIGIBILITY
Artwork will be accepted from artists of all ages. The artists are required to reside within the City of Fort Collins Growth
Management Area. To check the boundaries, visit fcgov.com/growth‐management‐area. Each individual or family group may submit
only one drawing.
BUDGET
Artists whose designs have been selected by the committee will be awarded $50. Up to 10 designs will be selected.

The selection committee may consist of the APP Board, up to three representatives from the City’s Project Team, and one City
Purchasing Department representative. The selection committee reserves the right to reject any or all entries at any time in the
