Farmington Hills Calls for Entries in Public Art Program

The City of Farmington Hills invites professional artists in all media to submit work for consideration to be exhibited in the third phase of the Public Art Program at Farmington Hills City Hall, located at 31555 Eleven Mile at Orchard Lake Road. The Public Art Program provides an exciting opportunity for independent artists to show their work to the public on a daily basis, in partnership with the City.

The City is seeking both outdoor and indoor sculpture, two-dimensional work and relief. Artists may submit up to eight pieces, in the form of jpgs or CDs. Applications are due no later than November 21, 2014, and are available via email from rtimlin@fhgov.com or on the City website at www.fhgov.com under “Community/Cultural Arts/Art Exhibits.” This opportunity is open to all artists; applicants do not have to be residents of Farmington Hills.

Works chosen will be presented to the public at an artists’ reception in January 2015, prior to a Farmington Hills City Council meeting. Artwork will also be featured in news releases, on the City website, and in a printed price guide. Art will remain on exhibit for approximately two years. Special arrangements to substitute other artwork during this period will also be allowed, upon the sale of a piece.

For more information, contact Rachel Timlin, Cultural Arts Supervisor, at 248-473-1859.
