The Conservation Fund is seeking the experience of a professional artist to oversee the design and implementation of a temporary site installation that builds neighborhood excitement about the Bailey Drive Gateway project and allows neighbors to use and interact with the site during the time when documentation and fundraising is underway for the permanent site design. The artist will work with the community and the design team to build on work that’s already been done and to incorporate neighborhood stories into the design of the site installation, reflecting stories that already have been told and prompting residents to continue sharing their stories and experiences.

The Conservation Fund is seeking the expertise of a professional artist to oversee the design and implementation of a temporary site installation that builds neighborhood excitement about the Bailey Drive Gateway project and allows neighbors to use and interact with the site during the time when documentation and fundraising is under way for the permanent site design.

The artist will work with the design team to:

o Review project work and materials to date.
o Gather meaningful community input on the temporary site installation.
o Develop a brief written description, budget and conceptual graphic representation of the proposed installation and related online efforts.
o Consider how elements of the temporary installation might be incorporated into the permanent site design.
o Install the temporary art installation, with the potential to include volunteers from the community and the design team.

The artist’s scope of work is anticipated to occur over a two-month period in close consultation with the community and the design team. The temporary art installation is anticipated to remain on-site through winter or early spring of 2021.

The artist will have flexibility in working with the design team and project partners to determine the extent, materiality and medium of the installation. The artist should select forms and materials that are resilient to the level of expected use and considerate of the site’s location within the floodplain and adjacent to a sensitive wetland environment.

The budget for artist’s services including design, materials and installation, is $10,000, with the possibility that more funds could be raised and/or materials donated.
