Artist sought to design on-street bike parking
The Office in partnership with the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) seeks an artist or artist team to design on-street bicycle parking. Artist-designed bicycle parking is a product of the SDOT Art Plan. The application deadline is Monday, April 13. A link to the online application is available here.
The selected artist will work with SDOT staff to design, fabricate and install bicycle parking at two to four on-street locations. The call is open to established professional artists living in Washington. The project budget is $30,000 for design, fabrication and installation.
The new program addresses the expanding need for bicycle parking and is part of the city's Bicycle Master Plan, which aims to triple the number of people bicycling in Seattle over 10 years.
