The San Francisco Arts Commission invites artists and artist teams residing in the United States or represented by a US based gallery to submit qualifications for the San Francisco Fire Department Division of Training. The art opportunity calls for a cohesive, integrated design that includes two components: a sculpture or grouping of sculptures located in the project’s mid-block focus area along Carroll Avenue, and approximately 120 linear feet of sculptural or two-dimensional artwork integrated into wall niches within the concrete bioretention planter walls fronting the facility.
The budget for artwork is anticipated to be $1,403,800 and may be adjusted based on changes to the design of the project site or other project parameters. The budget is inclusive of all artist’s fees, as well as associated expenses for design, fabrication, insurance, transportation and consultation during installation. A separate set-aside of $200,000 will be allocated for installation under a separate agreement with the City
