Athens Cultural Affairs Commission (ACAC) invites Athens area artists and art teams to submit proposals for a public art project at Rocksprings Pool and Community Center.

The Commission is seeking a design that will enhance the identity of the facilities; add a welcoming, fun, and visually appealing element for people of all ages; fit into the pool’s location and setting; and foster community pride. Total budget for the project is $9,000.

Eligibility: Open to artists/art teams residing in Athens-Clarke and surrounding counties (Oconee, Jackson, Oglethorpe, Madison, Barrow). It is preferable that the artist have experience working with community and/or youth in art projects. Additional adult supervision will be made available to the artist during times when students are participating in the process.

Artists interested in submitting a proposal are encouraged to attend a site visit on Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. Deadline for entries is 5 p.m. Friday, February 25, 2013. Finalists will be contacted by the ACAC by March 11 and the deadline for project completion is May 1, 2013.
