Posted by: City of St. Augustine
Deadline: Mon, April 1st, 2024

 The City of St. Augustine (City) is seeking an artist or team of artists to create an original design, outdoor, permanent, large-scale, site-specific civic art installation for the roundabout at the intersection of May Street and San Marco Avenue. The artist(s) selected for the commission will be responsible for the design, fabrication, and installation of the outdoor public art installation, including the structural design and related permitting through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and City staff. Experience in large scale installations, civic content, and the southern coastal climate is preferred. The artwork should be a signature piece for the St. Augustine community, and although no specific narrative or representational content is required, the artwork should reflect some aspect of the City’s multifaceted culture taking into consideration the unique characteristics of the site and its neighborhood. The artwork should appeal to a broad audience and should be site-responsive, and properly scaled to the surroundings. The materials used must be able to withstand extreme weather and heavy traffic and must be structurally sound and require low upkeep and minimal maintenance costs. The City of St. Augustine intends this public art to reflect civic content and be a form of symbolic speech of the municipality, therefore no logos, words, symbols, or statements should be included.
