This RFQ represents an opportunity for an artist, or team of artists, to create a functional artwork (seating, lighting, etc.) that will be highly visible, sited beside the main entrance of the firehouse, facing Beatties Ford Rd. The impactful artwork should also reference the history, commitment, and service of the Charlotte Fire Department. In addition, the artwork should represent the history of the chosen property and reference the ever-present community. The Rockin’ K Ranch located on Miranda Rd is one example of a prominent community-loved area. The selected artist/artist team will be expected to engage with both fire department staff and area residents to develop the concept for their work. Total budget is $100k+.

The goal of the 2025 Macon Mural Festival (MMF) is to brand Macon, GA as a vibrant and creative destination. This year, we are looking for artists to participate in this 3-day event. Each participating artist will be given a prepped wall to complete their mural and a $1,500 stipend plus $500 for supplies. The Festival will also provide lodging for all artists. Murals can be open theme but must be approved by the business that sponsors the wall. $10 application fee.

We are seeking proposals for permanent site-specific, small-scale outdoor installations that will be placed throughout our campus. Selected projects will challenge viewers to notice and engage with the environment in unexpected ways.

Artist & Material Fee: $1000
