Resistant to weather, vandalism and graffiti.Appropriateness of the proposed artwork to the site.Proposals will be evaluated on the following criteria: Final approval is by the SSPRD Board of Directors. Two non-voting SSPRD employees act as advisors to the Committee. The selected artwork may not be duplicated within 200 miles of the site.Īrtwork will be selected by the South Suburban Public Art Committee, a group of citizen volunteers with diverse interests in public art appointed by the Board of Directors. Commissioned or artist-owned work, if appropriate, will be considered. This project is open to all artists residing in Colorado who have the background, experience and reputation for completing such a project. SSPRD reserves the right to request that the artist, at no additional cost, submit installation plans stamped by a Colorado-licensed engineer. It is possible SSPRD staff could assist the artist with the physical installation, but this will need to be discussed and negotiated with the artist and will depend on the extent to which SSPRD has the necessary capabilities. The final artist selected must provide a Certificate of Insurance that will be in effect during delivery and installation. Up to $25,000 is available for all expenses related to this commission including artist fees, materials, fabrication, finishes, underground foundation, engineering, insurance, shipping, travel, installation, documentation, and all other associated expenses. It is recommended that artists visit the site prior to submitting a proposal. The artwork’s dimensions and design are to be at the artist’s discretion. SSPRD will provide reasonable care with regard to security and maintenance. Submissions may include existing artist-owned work if appropriate for the site. Although not a requirement, the PAC encourages proposals to engage youth artists of the District in the development of any submissions. The proposed art 1) should be appropriate for the surrounding family-focused uses 2) should be an integral part of the site in theme, materials, and scale 3) should be unique, and be thoughtfully integrated into the existing environment 4) must meet or exceed standards for structural integrity and durability 5) must be weather, vandal, and graffiti resistant 6) and must meet or exceed standards for public safety.
For maintenance purposes, the artwork and foundation must be at least five feet from boulders, trees or other objects. The proposed location for the artwork is within the open space between Little Dry Creek Trail and S Krameria Way, immediately north of the bus stop along E Arapahoe Rd. The Little Dry Creek Trail passes through the property, providing connectivity to Centennial Link Trail, Willow Creek Trail, and several other parks and open spaces in the area. The park is bordered by S Holly St to the west, S Krameria Way to the east, E Arapahoe Rd to the south, and residential neighborhoods to the north. The park amenities include a recently renovated Public Pool (open during the summers), Tennis Center, open space, trails, restrooms, and parking lot. The South Suburban Park and Recreation District’s Public Art Committee (PAC) requests proposals for permanent artwork to be placed at South Suburban Park and Recreation District’s (SSPRD) Holly Park, a heavily used community park located at 6652 S Krameria Way, Centennial, CO 80111.
