lucchesi skatepark project public art

This Request for Proposals (RFP) is intended to engage emerging or established artists or artist teams through an open process that invites and maximizes creativity. The art project is for a site-specific mural on the vertical surfaces of the Lucchesi Skatepark once constructed. There is not a pre-determined theme, however, the PPAC seeks artworks with the following considerations through this commission program:

• Maintain a coherent style and evoke feelings of active fun

• Possess multi-layered meanings, beauty, and other compelling attributes

• Be appropriate for a public space and visible to all persons

• Be durable, safe, and low maintenance

• Consider the skate community and culture in project design

• Provide opportunity to underserved and emerging artists
