12 Artwork Opportunities
DEADLINE: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 at 11:59 p.m. (PDT) via SlideRoom
Metro Art invites visual artists based in Los Angeles County to submit qualifications for opportunities to design two-dimensional (2D) artworks for future stations along the East San Fernando Valley (ESFV) Transit Project and the G Line Improvements Project, both serving the East San Fernando Valley.
Metro’s plan for better transit includes more rail service and upgrades in the San Fernando Valley, expanding Metro’s transit system which serves the most populous county in the United States.
The ESFV Project will include 11 new light rail stations. The G Line Improvements Project will upgrade the existing G Line and include one new aerial station to replace the at-grade Van Nuys Station, which will intersect with the ESFV Project. There are 12 total artwork opportunities.
The contract awards are anticipated to range between $110,000 and $120,000, depending on the scope and scale of the artwork locations.

Submit qualifications via SlideRoom no later than Monday, September 22 at 11:59 p.m. (PDT)
