Alachua County is soliciting ideas for the West Lawn Art, located at the S.E. corner of University and Main Street at the County Administration Building, on an existing 12’ x 12’ concrete slab. The winner’s submittal would be the inspiration for a Call to Artist for an artist to fabricate and install the art. Those who submit ideas are excluded from applying for the Call to Artist to fabricate and install the art. The winner will be awarded $1,000.
Ideas should not honor a person or historical event, but should be visually appealing and interesting. Submittals should be limited to one page, uploaded as a PDF document. While text to describe the art is acceptable, sketches are preferred.
Submitted ideas will be shortlisted to the top three at the Alachua County Arts Council’s September 7 meeting, which will then be forwarded to the County Commission for final approval.
For more information, contact Alachua County Assistant County Manager/Chief of Staff Gina Peebles at 352-538-8265 or
