Specifications include, but are not limited to: The JCRA is seeking proposals from Respondents to provide development consulting services related to the renovation and operation of the Pathside Building. In 2021, the City and the JCRA announced that they had selected Centre national d’art et de culture Georges Pompidou (the “Centre Pompidou”) as the international partner for the City and the Pathside Building, the Centre Pompidou’s first and only North American partnership, to create Centre Pompidou Jersey City. The Centre Pompidou is the leading French national cultural institution established in Paris 4867-0429-8935, v. 2 Request for Proposals – Development Professional Page 4 in 1977. It incorporates the Musée national d’art moderne, which houses the richest collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe, and one of the two largest in the world. The Centre Pompidou Jersey City (“CPJC”) will be a leading international cultural hub located at the heart of historic Journal Square, serving as a dynamic destination for residents and attracting visitors from all over the region, reflecting the energy and diversity of the City’s burgeoning arts community (the “Project”). The Centre Pompidou will provide its expertise to create an ambitious program emphasizing education via hands-on artistic and cultural experiences, with a community component central to the City’s ambitious and inclusive vision for the future, making this Project a promising multidisciplinary art laboratory for cultural and educational programming. With the addition of exclusive exhibitions created with the modern and contemporary art masterpieces from the Paris Centre Pompidou’s collection, as well as tailor-made and diversified events at the crossroads of all disciplines, the CPJC’s cultural agenda (to be revealed at a later date) will offer an effervescent fusion of art and ideas. The main goals of the CPJC are to: • Develop institutional structures for the CPJC; • Develop a comprehensive fundraising plan for the CPJC; • Renovate and adaptively reuse the existing Pathside Building for arts and culture, to create a cultural anchor in Journal Square as the area continues to grow and develop; • Provide exhibition space to show the selections from the Centre Pompidou collection; • Provide educational space for school children of all ages; • Provide programmatic space for the local arts and cultural community which could include but is not limited to exhibition space, gathering space, and workshop space; and • Provide an event space.
