The Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County today announced its commitment to spend up to $100,000 in commissions for two public art projects at the new Downtown Center for the Arts. The Council has begun a renovation and enlargement of its former headquarters at the historic Sawtooth Building in downtown Winston-Salem, and construction should be completed by fall 2010. Two locations at this site, home of the new Downtown Center, have been selected for placement of specifically commissioned works of art. Professional artists or teams of artists nationwide may submit qualifications for the two projects up to the submission deadline of May 15. Information about the art locations and the full Request for Qualifications ("RFQ") can be found here at the Arts Council website; and artists with additional questions may email the Arts Council's Rebecca Parker. Three cheers plus for the Arts Council's leading by example, investing in our city's public art landscape!
