Call for Artists: MTA Arts & Design - Long Island Rail Road Permanent Art Opportunity in Queens

MTA Arts & Design seeks images of artists' previous work to review in consideration for a new permanent Percent for Art project, in conjunction with improvements at Hollis Station in Queens. An approved fabricator will translate the final artwork designs into a durable medium. The artwork is projected to be realized in metal. An artist's prior experience with this material will not be taken into consideration when reviewing images. A selection panel comprised of arts and design professionals will select finalists to develop original proposals. Finalists will be given site specifications and a detailed overview of the project to create a proposal for site-specific artwork at the station, for which they will receive an honorarium of $1,250. Following the selection panel's review of proposals, one artist will be selected to receive the commission. The budget for design and fabrication of the artwork is to be determined. The selected artist will receive an artist fee and be required to produce final designs, select a fabricator and oversee the fabrication and installation of the artwork, with project management by MTA Arts & Design.
