Call for interested artists, residing in the western US, to create site specific artwork or propose appropriate existing artwork for two Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control facilities in Salt Lake City, Utah.

COMMITTEE STATEMENT
The Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (UDABC) is relocating and constructing these new stores in Salt Lake City to improve access and service for their customers. As part of this effort the UDABC has made a commitment to include public art and contemporary architecture.

It is the intention of the Art Committee to commission new artworks or purchase existing art. This public artwork may draw inspiration from or derive context from the community of Salt Lake City and the surrounding community and/or the services offered by DABC, the architecture, and/or the magnificent Utah landscape.

For the Downtown Project, the Committee has identified three interior and one exterior possible sites for an artist’s contribution. They are identified on the plan GN 221 with purple shading.

For the Foothill Project, the Committee has identified two exterior and one interior as possible sites indicated on plans GN 195 and GN 196 with red cloud marking. Any proposal for the exterior court yard must accommodate visit access and egress.
​
Please note any proposed existing work must include the full costs to cover presentation to the committee, shipping, engineering, assembly, installation, and any structural alterations that may be necessary to install the work. For those artists submitting qualifications only, these details will be required for the finalist presentation.

THE UTAH DEPARTMENT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONTROL
http://www.abc.utah.gov/index.html
The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has been in existence since 1935. The Utah State Legislature created the department by statute and charged it with the responsibility of conducting, licensing and regulating the sale of alcoholic beverages in a manner and at prices which reasonably satisfy the public demand and protect the public interest, including the rights of citizens who do not wish to be involved with alcoholic beverages. The legislature also mandated that the department be operated as a public business using sound management principles and practices.

Two years earlier, the ratification of the Twenty First Amendment not only ended national prohibition, but it also gave individual states the right to choose their own system of controlling and distributing alcoholic beverages. The Utah legislature at that time believed that the state, rather than private enterprise, should control sales.

The purpose of control is to make liquor available to those adults who choose to drink responsibly - but not to promote the sale of liquor. By keeping liquor out of the private marketplace, no economic incentives are created to maximize sales, open more liquor stores or sell to underage persons. Instead, all policy incentives to promote moderation and to enforce existing liquor laws is enhanced.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
The land now known as Utah was first inhabited by the ancient Pueblo people, sometimes referred to as the Anasazi. Later, the Ute Tribe, which the state is named for, settled in the area centered around the Provo Valley. Other Native American peoples like the Shoshone, Navajo, Paiute, and Goshute also called the area home.

Spanish Franciscan Missionary Silvestre Velez de Escalante explored Utah reaching as far north as Utah Valley, approximately 50 miles south of Salt Lake City. The area was first surveyed by US Army Officer John C. Fremont in 1843. Emigration Canyon, which opens onto Foothill and Downtown Salt Lake City was the main path of explorers, migrants and others into Salt Lake for many years.

Salt Lake City was founded on July 24, 1847, by a group of Mormon pioneers. (Mormons are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.) In 1869, the transcontinental railroad was completed by the driving of the Golden Spike at Promontory Summit, some 80 miles northwest of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Salt Lake City is the capital and most populous city of Utah, as well as the seat of Salt Lake County, the most populous county in Utah. With an estimated population of 200,567 in 2019. The city is the core of the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, which has a population of 1,222,540 (2018 estimate).

Salt Lake City downtown offers restaurants, watering holes, urban adventures, art, music, and after-dusk fun. The city is set at the base of towering peaks. Residents and visitors attend open-air concerts on summer nights, farmer’s markets, art galleries, performing arts venues or a Utah Jazz NBA game.

Foothill Drive is the most eastern north to south thoroughfare on the east bench of Salt Lake City. The Drive runs between the University of Utah and Interstate 80 and is populated by businesses, hotel and shopping centers.

BUDGET
The Downtown SLC project budget is up to $64,000. The Foothill Boulevard SLC project budget is up to $23,600. Each of these project budgets are to include all related expenses of these Public Art commissions or purchase including (but not limited to) artist fees, fabrication, framing insurance, shipping, travel, installation, documentation, etc.

View Site Details

Coeur d’Alene is a resort city in northern Idaho, located on picturesque Lake Coeur d’ Alene, where visitors from all over the world enjoy the region’s sparkling lakes, green forests, and bountiful rivers, along with mountain and water sports. Founded in 1878, Coeur d’Alene has a rich history of over 150 years in mining and logging operations, and has largely transitioned over the past several decades into a tourism and hospitality-based economy.

The Coeur d’Alene Arts Commission is pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for an artist/artist team to leave their mark and enhance the visual landscape and character of our community. Public art helps to set the tone of a neighborhood and builds community identity. It takes an ordinary space that you might walk by daily without notice and makes it extraordinary. Most importantly, public art is accessible to everyone and creates an emotional response in all who see it -- the young and the young-at-heart alike.   The Coeur d’Alene Arts Commission invites artists/artist teams to submit qualifications for consideration for the following project:

FOURTH STREET PARKING GARAGE PUBLIC ART PROJECT

This Request for Qualifications is for art that will be located on the East exterior wall of a new public parking structure located at Fourth Street and Coeur d’Alene Avenue in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. The goal for the piece is to significantly beautify one of the primary pedestrian and vehicle passageways of the downtown core.  The art will be installed vertically, anchored onto a wall made of concrete masonry blocks. Submissions of murals (painted directly onto the wall) will NOT be considered.

Project Dimensions:  This Request for Qualifications will be updated with exterior wall and project area dimensions when they are determined.  The project area dimensions will allow the design to be placed on an area resistant to potential traffic and pedestrian interference. Submitted designs should be configured to cover the majority of the installation area. 

There is no theme for this project; however, the work should be appropriate for viewers of all ages, should reflect the vibrant beauty of our downtown community, and leave a lasting impression on all who view it.

ABOUT THE FARM  
Alford Olson, a Swedish immigrant, purchased the property in 1879. Throughout its existence, the farm has diversified its activities, but it has always essentially operated as a subsistence farm. In its early days it was a source of timber and hops. After hops declined in value, the Olson family moved into raising cows for dairy and veal, poultry and egg farming, apple harvesting, and potato farming. Mary wove rag rugs and her son Alfred took up hunting and sold pelts and bartered apples and veal.

In the 1970's the farm was rented out to various tenants and some renovations were begun on the buildings, but never completed. In 1994, after many years of vacancy and deteriorations, the City of Auburn purchased the 67 acre farm. After several years of planning and fundraising, restoration work began on the major buildings, as well as projects surrounding the restoration on Olson Creek and reclaiming the pastures from years of neglect and invasion by Himalayan blackberries. The final restoration projects were finished in 2011 and the Mary Olson Farm opened that summer for the first time to the general public.

Today, visitors can tour inside the restored 1897 barn, pause and consider what life was like on a rural farm in the 1902 farmhouse, or wander through the century-old orchard and learn about the many varieties of apples and cherries Alfred Olson cultivated. Other restored and preserved structures on the property include a garage, weaving shed, chicken coop, outhouse, smokehouse, and 19th century wagon road.

Amenities available for use in the barn artist “studio space” include: large indoor works space complete with electrical outlets and lights, water available from an exterior hot and cold sink or hose, Sanican bathroom onsite, and tables and chairs available for artist’s use. More information about the Mary Olson Farm can be found at: http://wrvmuseum.org/visit_the_farm.html

SELECTED PARTICIPANTS MUST AGREE TO

• Sign agreement with the City of Auburn about residency plans, expectations and guidelines.

• Leave the space in the same or better condition as when they moved in. The farm is on the National Register of Historic Places and as such absolutely NO changes can be made to the buildings, gardens or landscape.

• Understand that the initial $2,000 portion stipend payment is made at the beginning of the residency, and that payments cannot be made until contracts have been fully processed. The remaining $1,500 will be retained until all of the expected residency requirements are completed.

• Understand that the artwork displayed must be appropriate for the public realm.

• Install and de-install your own work in a professional fashion for the final exhibition.

• Partner with the City of Auburn to market and promote the exhibition. Exhibits are publicized through city-generated press releases, printed materials, social media, and the City’s web site at www.auburnwa.gov/arts.

• Artists are welcome to offer their works for sale, but are not required to do so. All sales are handled privately between the artist and the buyer. The City of Auburn does not take a commission on any works sold through the galleries or residency program.

• The artist agrees to make available their photos taken of the farm during the residency, for use by the City of Auburn and the White River Valley Museum to promote the program.

• The selected artist must agree to participate in the entire residency program including all events, the final exhibition, etc. No exceptions.

Coeur d’Alene is a resort city in northern Idaho, located on picturesque Lake Coeur d’ Alene, where visitors from all over the world enjoy the region’s sparkling lakes, green forests, and bountiful rivers, along with mountain and water sports. Founded in 1878, Coeur d’Alene has a rich history of over 150 years in mining and logging operations, and has largely transitioned over the past several decades into a tourism and hospitality-based economy.

The Coeur d’Alene Arts Commission is pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for an artist/artist team to leave their mark and enhance the visual landscape and character of our community. Public art helps to set the tone of a neighborhood and builds community identity. It takes an ordinary space that you might walk by daily without notice and makes it extraordinary. Most importantly, public art is accessible to everyone and creates an emotional response in all who see it -- the young and the young-at-heart alike.   The Coeur d’Alene Arts Commission invites artists/artist teams to submit qualifications for consideration for the following project:

FOURTH STREET PARKING GARAGE PUBLIC ART PROJECT

This Request for Qualifications is for art that will be located on the East exterior wall of a new public parking structure located at Fourth Street and Coeur d’Alene Avenue in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. The goal for the piece is to significantly beautify one of the primary pedestrian and vehicle passageways of the downtown core.  The art will be installed vertically, anchored onto a wall made of concrete masonry blocks. Submissions of murals (painted directly onto the wall) will NOT be considered.

Project Dimensions:  This Request for Qualifications will be updated with exterior wall and project area dimensions when they are determined.  The project area dimensions will allow the design to be placed on an area resistant to potential traffic and pedestrian interference. Submitted designs should be configured to cover the majority of the installation area. 

There is no theme for this project; however, the work should be appropriate for viewers of all ages, should reflect the vibrant beauty of our downtown community, and leave a lasting impression on all who view it.

ABOUT THE FARM  
Alford Olson, a Swedish immigrant, purchased the property in 1879. Throughout its existence, the farm has diversified its activities, but it has always essentially operated as a subsistence farm. In its early days it was a source of timber and hops. After hops declined in value, the Olson family moved into raising cows for dairy and veal, poultry and egg farming, apple harvesting, and potato farming. Mary wove rag rugs and her son Alfred took up hunting and sold pelts and bartered apples and veal.

In the 1970's the farm was rented out to various tenants and some renovations were begun on the buildings, but never completed. In 1994, after many years of vacancy and deteriorations, the City of Auburn purchased the 67 acre farm. After several years of planning and fundraising, restoration work began on the major buildings, as well as projects surrounding the restoration on Olson Creek and reclaiming the pastures from years of neglect and invasion by Himalayan blackberries. The final restoration projects were finished in 2011 and the Mary Olson Farm opened that summer for the first time to the general public.

Today, visitors can tour inside the restored 1897 barn, pause and consider what life was like on a rural farm in the 1902 farmhouse, or wander through the century-old orchard and learn about the many varieties of apples and cherries Alfred Olson cultivated. Other restored and preserved structures on the property include a garage, weaving shed, chicken coop, outhouse, smokehouse, and 19th century wagon road.

Amenities available for use in the barn artist “studio space” include: large indoor works space complete with electrical outlets and lights, water available from an exterior hot and cold sink or hose, Sanican bathroom onsite, and tables and chairs available for artist’s use. More information about the Mary Olson Farm can be found at: http://wrvmuseum.org/visit_the_farm.html

SELECTED PARTICIPANTS MUST AGREE TO

• Sign agreement with the City of Auburn about residency plans, expectations and guidelines.

• Understand that the artwork displayed must be appropriate for the public realm.

• Install and de-install your own work in a professional fashion for the final exhibition.

• Artists are welcome to offer their works for sale, but are not required to do so. All sales are handled privately between the artist and the buyer. The City of Auburn does not take a commission on any works sold through the galleries or residency program.

• The artist agrees to make available their photos taken of the farm during the residency, for use by the City of Auburn and the White River Valley Museum to promote the program.

ABOUT THE FARM  
Alford Olson, a Swedish immigrant, purchased the property in 1879. Throughout its existence, the farm has diversified its activities, but it has always essentially operated as a subsistence farm. In its early days it was a source of timber and hops. After hops declined in value, the Olson family moved into raising cows for dairy and veal, poultry and egg farming, apple harvesting, and potato farming. Mary wove rag rugs and her son Alfred took up hunting and sold pelts and bartered apples and veal.

In the 1970's the farm was rented out to various tenants and some renovations were begun on the buildings, but never completed. In 1994, after many years of vacancy and deteriorations, the City of Auburn purchased the 67 acre farm. After several years of planning and fundraising, restoration work began on the major buildings, as well as projects surrounding the restoration on Olson Creek and reclaiming the pastures from years of neglect and invasion by Himalayan blackberries. The final restoration projects were finished in 2011 and the Mary Olson Farm opened that summer for the first time to the general public.

Today, visitors can tour inside the restored 1897 barn, pause and consider what life was like on a rural farm in the 1902 farmhouse, or wander through the century-old orchard and learn about the many varieties of apples and cherries Alfred Olson cultivated. Other restored and preserved structures on the property include a garage, weaving shed, chicken coop, outhouse, smokehouse, and 19th century wagon road.

Amenities available for use in the barn artist “studio space” include: large indoor works space complete with electrical outlets and lights, water available from an exterior hot and cold sink or hose, Sanican bathroom onsite, and tables and chairs available for artist’s use. More information about the Mary Olson Farm can be found at: http://wrvmuseum.org/visit_the_farm.html

• Sign agreement with the City of Auburn about residency plans, expectations and guidelines.
