Call to Artists: SCULPTURE

City of Ormond Beach, Florida www.ormondbeach.org	Ormond Memorial Art Museum

The Public Art Committee of the City of Ormond Beach, Florida announces two separate art competitions for sculpture on the grounds of Ormond Beach Fire Department Stations 91 and 92, each located adjacent to major highways in the city.

DESCRIPTION:
The City of Ormond Beach is currently constructing two new fire stations. These highly visible locations provide ideal spaces for exterior sculpture. Each station requires the art work to be durable, easy to maintain and made to meet construction codes for wind load, climatic conditions and able to meet public safety standards. The budget for the project at Station 91 (A1A) is $35,000. The budget for Station 92 (Nova Road) is $42,000. Transportation and installation costs are to be the responsibility of the artist.

ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES:
Works can be representational, abstract or non-objective in style. Each work must be static - no kinetic or actual water features. Conceptual or performance art will not be considered for these projects. They should reflect and interpret the theme outlined below.

DESIGN THEME and EMPHASIS:
The City of Ormond Beach and its residents are justifiably proud of the Ormond Beach Fire Department and its highly trained and dedicated employees.  The Fire Department is responsible for providing fire protection and emergency medical ( EMS – advanced life support ) within the response area of the city.  Fire Department inspectors are also responsible for reviewing site and construction plans and additionally educate classes for schools and adult citizens about safety awareness.

In addition to their day to day tasks and assignments, the staff of the fire department are important elements in the City disaster preparedness and recovery team regarding hurricanes, severe storms and other potential disasters.  As such these two separate public art projects are considered as a positive recognition of this dedication and service to the community.
