The City of Federal Way is seeking qualifications from artists interested in creating a public-facing, site responsive public art installation. The site will be the newly constructed Joint Use Operations and Maintenance Facility (“O & M Facility”), located along the east side of 28th Avenue S, between S 312th Street and S 308th Lane. The City is seeking submissions for an outdoor art project to be installed onto the face or free-standing in front of the cast in place concrete wall at the new Joint Use Operations and Maintenance Facility. This is a high-profile opportunity for an imaginative and innovative artist or artist team to create a sitespecific, signature artwork in a prominent location. Project goals and considerations: • Speak to the natural beauty and location of the site • Serves as a signature piece of artwork • Fits well within the context of the site (in terms of scale, design, and theme) • Use the artwork to showcase the operations that are housed and performed within the facility • Considers existing architectural design within the site and how to complement the design of the project • Materials and finish artwork shall be of the highest quality and should be designed and fabricated for durability as well as for relatively low maintenance
