The Harrison
West Society (HWS) and the Columbus Public Art Program (CAP) have partnered to
commission a professional visual artist to design, fabricate and install a
fifth sculptural artwork for Harrison Park.
Project Background
Last fall, an Artist Call/Request for Proposals was released inviting artists in Ohio to submit examples of their artwork for review by a seven member Art Advisory Panel approved by the HWS and the Columbus Art Commission (CAC). Twenty-one artists submitted qualifications and the Panel selected three artist finalists: Jon Barlow Hudson, Todd Kime and Xan Palay. The CAC approved the finalist selection and the City entered into contract with the artists to each develop a site-specific art proposal for Harrison Park. Artists were paid $750 to create proposals that were presented at a gathering hosted by the HWS at the Harrison Park Condos Community Center, on Saturday, July 25. The art budget is $90,000 all inclusive, including a 10% contingency set-aside.
