Apply to create public art in Norfolk, VA!
For this project, rather than a static piece on a pedestal, we envision artwork that flows and interacts with the space— perhaps wrapping around a corner, climbing a building, or extending into the surroundings.
The artwork should be designed to engage both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, with a scale that commands attention from a distance while offering intricate details that can be appreciated up close.
Reflecting the neighborhood’s themes of water, glass, fluidity, and reflection, artists are encouraged to explore motion, either through kinetic elements or the visual perception of movement, allowing the piece to interact dynamically with its environment.
The site is equipped with electricity, allowing for potential lighting or other interactive features.
Norfolk Arts continually seeks private commercial developers who want to enhance their project with public art. The Norfolk Public Art Commission will match up to $25,000 for each project.
