The Art Selection Committee is seeking public artwork that marks the transition from a historic, tree-lined neighborhood into the vibrant urban environment of the NEON District, while also inviting and signifying the entrance to the Fusion apartment complex. This site lies at the intersection of the traditional, refined atmosphere of a museum and the raw, eclectic energy of NEON. We invite artists to create a bold, unexpected installation that challenges conventional outdoor sculpture formats.

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 installation should be dynamic, lively, and thought-provoking, embodying creativity in its most fluid and experimental form. We are looking for bright, bold expressions of art that reflect the unique, funky spirit of the NEON District while marking the entrance to Fusion as a distinctive, welcoming landmark.

SIZE/MEDIUM: 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. Durability is key: the artwork must be crafted from permanent, low-maintenance materials that are safe, weather-resistant, and designed to stand the test of time.

This is a unique opportunity for a professional public artist to mentor four emerging local artists in Hampton Roads, Virginia. The selected Mentor Artist will guide four mentees interested in pursuing careers in public art, helping them to develop their skills as they navigate the public art field. The Mentor Artist will assist with reviewing applications, interviewing finalists and selecting the four mentees. Additionally, the Mentor Artist will be responsible for ensuring that the four public art projects are successfully built, meeting all necessary requirements and deadlines. The Mentor will receive a $250,000 contract, which includes a $50,000 stipend. Each mentee will receive a $50,000 subcontract through the Mentor to create a public artwork at one of four designated sites. (The total budget for the program is $250,000.)
