The artwork shall be a unique design created by the artist, and may not be a duplication of an existing art work. The artwork must be a large-scale, 3-dimensional piece designed to be prominently featured as a permanent installation at a newly constructed City facility, the Mansfield Animal Care & Control Center. The new facility will be located at 620 S. Wisteria in Mansfield, and is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2026. The artist must complete and install the project by April 30, 2026. The artist will be expected to coordinate/collaborate throughout the design, fabrication, and installation process with the City’s public art team; the team includes members from the Community Engagement Department, Interdepartmental Public Art Committee, Public Art Advisory Committee, Planning Department, Animal Care & Control Department and the Public Works Department. The artist should create a piece that meets all requirements of the city’s public art policies and ordinance, and follows any required permitting, zoning, environmental, historic, or other city policies. The art work created must fit within the vision for the Mansfield public art program at large; to create high-quality works of art that foster remarkable experiences and bring the community together
