Call for Artists for Public Art Project in City of Norwich, CT

The City of Norwich Public Art Committee (NPAC) is an ad hoc committee formed to support the Cultural Coalition’s administration of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds from the City of Norwich for investment in arts and culture.

The NPAC is looking for artists to share design concepts for a public art
project to be located on the roundabout at Franklin Square in downtown Norwich, CT

Requirements

The artwork will be installed on the roundabout and must be confined to that space. Concepts should be mindful of the vehicular traffic around the roundabout.
Minimizing the footprint of the permanent structure should be considered and is strongly encouraged. Electricity and water are available. The existing flagpole will not be removed and the concept could be integrated into design. Public art shall
not encourage congregation of people on the roundabout or be a perceived invitation to interact with structure.
