Public Sculpture on Broadway Pedestrian Plazas: Request for Qualifications
The Fashion Center Business Improvement District is seeking artists interested in submitting their qualifications to be considered for a public art installation of their existing work in the Summer of 2012 on the outdoor plazas on Broadway in the Fashion District. This exciting project was featured in Crain’s, so don’t miss your chance to participate!
The public plazas serve as an excellent canvas for artistic installations and enjoy a tremendous flow of pedestrian traffic year-round.
Project Description
The Fashion Center Business Improvement District (FCBID) maintains and operates public plazas in the Fashion District along Broadway in cooperation with the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT). As part of a program to enhance the public environment and to increasing community access to art, the FCBID is inviting artists living, working, or operating in New York City to submit qualifications for consideration as the first step of a proposal process:

FCBID will consider installing between five and fifteen sculptural artworks (from one to three works per plaza). All works will be subject to approval by NYC DOT.
