Orange County and the Orlando Magic
Five Recreation Centers and One Gymnasium
Orlando, FL
Public Art Opportunity $285,000 available for public art projects
Exterior or Interior Art for new facilities.
Project Description : The Orange County Public Art Review Board seeks one or more artist(s) or artist team(s) to develop artwork for one or more new public structure(s) that will embrace the community with high energy, healthy feelings of fun and interactivity.
Background
Orange County, Florida is a rapidly growing metropolitan area of over one million residents containing the City of Orlando and a dozen other municipalities. The recent National Endowment for the Arts analysis of census data indicate that there are more “entertainers and performers” per capita than in any other major U.S. metropolitan area.
The community is embarking on an ambitious plan to build three community venues worth over $1 billion. (http://www.cityoforlando.net/elected/venues/) The Orlando Magic, the city’s NBA team, has contributed significantly to the venues. In addition, as part of the agreement, they are providing funding for five Recreation Centers in various communities throughout the County. Orange County, and most of the communities that will get a gymnasium or recreation center, is a dynamic, diverse and blended community with influences from the African-American, Hispanic, Asian and Caribbean communities as well as Euro-American culture. Most of these communities are new and do not have a long tradition of their own.
With over 50 million visitors to the community each year, the area is becoming a cultural capital in ways that go far beyond the theme parks that have brought tens of thousands of skilled artists and creative thinkers to consider Central Florida their home. These projects provide the opportunity to offer art as part of the recreational experiences in these neighborhoods.
Site:
There are six projects. Five of them will be Recreation Centers – self-contained, new buildings that include a gymnasium as well as other recreation opportunities. They each have $50, 000 public art budgets.
A sixth project will add a gymnasium to an existing recreational facility in an established community. It has a $35,000 public art budget.
The projects are spread across the Orange County (Site plans available at www.ocfl.net/arts). The Artist Selection Panel may select a different artist or artist teams for each project, or they may select an artist or artist team for two or more or all of the projects from those entering artists that express an interest in addressing multiple facilities.
Building : The five free-standing Recreation Center buildings are all constructed from the same template. The Gymnasium is similar, but has some differences. All will have high exterior walls and exterior gathering places. The Recreation Centers will each have a lobby with a high ceiling. There is one main entrance corridor. Numerous possible locations are available for placing or integrating art including:
Interior Walls/Exterior Walls: Exterior Courtyard space (Gynasium only) -Exterior courtyard “paving” (Gymnasium only) Exterior entrance approach suitable for interactive artwork
Interior floors/Windows: Hanging items above lobby space (Recreation Centers)
These are the primary spaces with possibilities for art installation or integration. Tilt wall construction is being utilized so embossing or “setting” items in the walls is possible. Final drawings and specifications are still in process. Construction is scheduled to begin on the first Recreation Center in 2009. Buildings are planned to open starting in 2010. (floor plan and elevations available at www.ocfl.net/arts)
Budget:
$48,950 has been approved for artwork for each free-standing building and $34,300 for the gymnasium addition. Budgets can increase if the art replicates and incorporates a building material already budgeted (eg. floor tile). One or more projects by one or more artists will be commissioned for each project or for up to six of the projects. The selected artist(s) or team(s) will be awarded a comprehensive contract (or contracts) for work on one or more of the facilities. The contract will cover artwork design, fabrication, materials, installation, insurance, travel, public presentations, meetings with Orange County staff as necessary, identification plaque, and all related incidental expenses.
Artwork: The Public Artist Selection Panel seeks one or more artists to create site-specific work to be displayed on or integrated into the walls, floors, windows, courtyards or exterior area (free-standing art). The exterior plaza and the entry lobby are the primary locations to be considered for public art although other options are available as noted above.
Eligibility: This opportunity is open to professional artists working in any media. Student artists may apply if they can secure an experienced public artist to serve as a mentor to oversee their work.
Selection Process: A selection panel consisting of the project manager, arts professionals, architect and program administrators for the facility and the park will review artists’ qualifications. Several artists will be selected to provide proposals and will be paid a stipend of $350 each. Final artist(s) selection will take place after review of the proposals. The Arts & Cultural Affairs Director serves as the non-voting Chair of the Selection panel.
Selection Criteria: Artists will be evaluated on artistic excellence as evidenced by submitted materials; professional experience; compatibility with the architectural design, park environment and values of the Recreation Centers and Gymnasium projects.
Submittal Requirments: 12 copies of a professional resume (teams must submit resumes for each member).
- 12 copies of a letter of interest (typed, two page maximum, no less than 12 point font) outlining interest in this project and a preliminary statement of approach. Indicate whether you’d like to be considered for more than one of the projects.
- Up to 12 digital images of previous projects. Submit in jpeg format, up to 200 dpi, 800X600 pixels, presented on a PC compatible CD-Rom. Name files with artist name and number per image list (e.g.: smith_1.jpg, smith_2.jpg). Please ensure that all files are electronically scanned by current virus scanning software. Files with detected viruses will not be considered. Do not send videos, DVDs, print-outs, photographs or original art.
- 12 copies of an annotated list of images indicating title, dimensions (H x W X D), materials, date of work, location of each work, and brief description of the artwork if necessary.
- Experience with similar public art project budget size not required but helpful.
The Public Artist Selection Panel and Orange County reserves the right to reject any or all applications, proposals, applicants, or projects, and to modify or terminate the application process or the selection process for any reason and without prior notice.
Submittal Delivery: Submittals may be mailed or hand delivered but must arrive by the deadline. Postmarks are not acceptable.
