Dublin Requests 40th Anniversary Lawn Proposals

DUBLIN, CA — The City of Dublin is asking for artists to submit proposals for a rotating temporary art lawn display to honor its 40th anniversary of incorporation.

Until Jan. 31, the city is requesting proposals for one or more lawn displays for highly visible public areas in the city, including the front lawn at the Dublin Civic Center. Other sites will be considered based on specific proposals.

The city is requesting lawn displays that are “inviting and encourage patron engagement.” The city is budgeting $20,000, with a maximum stipend of $5,000 per display for the project. The city may select a single artist to create multiple displays, multiple artists to create a single display, or any combination thereof. The city might also choose a rotation of artists and sites.

Proposals are due by Jan. 31 no later than 4 p.m. Contact tyler.phillips@dublin.ca.gov or call 925-556-4500 with questions. Final agreements are expected to be granted in March, following recommendations from the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission and the City Council. The work will be unveiled in June and July.
