Specifications include, but are not limited to: artist or artist team to enter into an agreement to develop a site-integrated artwork for City of Carlsbad’s Fire Station 2 located at the intersection of El Camino Real and Arenal Road in Carlsbad, California. As an artist, you’ll add value in fully articulating the design and enhancing and complimenting the aesthetics of the architecture while creating a unique visual experience for the visitors and residents in Carlsbad. By designing an illumination/lighting installation and/or glass feature, the artist or artist team will also align to a national public art trend and ultimately further Carlsbad’s public art reputation. This unique location provides the artist with a blank canvas to develop a high visual impact experience that will be meaningful to the firefighters who are housed there and continue to increase our community’s interest in public art and heighten the visibility of artists and the arts in Carlsbad. Reconstruction Plans Fire Station 2 will be rebuilt at the station’s existing site. The reconstructed fire station will: • Have enlarged fire apparatus bays to accommodate new, modern fire response vehicles • Be built to current building and seismic codes with consideration for green technologies • Provide gender-specific facilities • Ensure medical supplies and living quarters are not exposed to carcinogens from firefighting equipment
