Request for Qualifications
The City of Franklin Public Arts Commission (FPAC) is inviting artists and artist teams to submit their qualifications to be considered for one or more permanent art commissions at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm.
The City of Franklin was awarded a transportation alternative grant for a pedestrian bridge to span the Harpeth River to connect the Park to an existing trail system in the Chestnut Bend neighborhood.
FPAC is requesting that potential artists submit their qualifications and examples of work with references. The top three potential artists chosen will be invited to an interview with the FPAC.
Deadline to apply: March 6, 2023
This public art opportunity is administered by FPAC, in partnership with the City’s Parks Department.
Each bridge panel to host the artwork measures 2.5 ft x 5 ft. The finalist must design and be mindful to create a sustainable piece of art that can be maintained, cleaned overtime and waterproof or water resistant as it will be subject to flooding. A biography of the artist will be located on each side of the bridge briefly explaining the idea of each piece.
