Had this passed on to me the other day and wanted to bring it to your attention. (ht to http://thatwoman.wordpress.com/).
In accordance with federal guidelines, the RTA Board of Trustees developed the Arts in Transit program in 1991. The first committee members were appointed later that year. By board policy, 1% of the projects constuction cost must be set aside for public art.
Since 1991, more than 20 works of art have been placed on permanent display in various media at:
Rail Stations
Transit Centers
Walkway to Gateway
The Arts In Transit Committee, chaired by Marybeth Feke, includes representatives from:
Schools
Museums
Private Businesses
Universities/Community Colleges
Non-Profit Organizations
Theatre Groups and Organizations
This is a great opportunity for any local artist that wants some recognition. For contract information, look here
