Description: The City of Dublin invites qualified professional artists or student artists working under the supervision of a professional artist to submit designs for an upcoming unique temporary art project. Temporary art displays are a great way to bring public art to City parks, streets, and facilities, define neighborhoods and bring culture to the community. BACKGROUND For this Project the City is seeking artists to paint or stain wood barrels, enhancing the program through visual arts. Artists are encouraged to be as creative as possible when approaching this project. The proposed design should be inviting and encouraging patron engagement. Site-specific proposals and general proposals that the City may display at its sole discretion are acceptable. Artists are responsible for preparing, painting/staining, and sealing (City provided sealant) the barrels The City will purchase new unfinished oak wine barrels and provide them to the artist. The artist is expected to pick up, complete the painting (including sealant), and return the completed wine barrel to the City for installation. Stipends of $500 will be provided to selected artists or artist teams. Completed wood barrels will be displayed throughout the City and during City special events such as the St. Patrick’s Day Festival in March and Splatter Festival in September.
