This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Vail, Colorado. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The Town of Vail's Environmental Sustainability Team invites artists to submit their qualifications and images of previous art work (painting, pastel, and drawing) for consideration in the town-wide program to educate the public about storm drains and promote the health of Gore Creek. The selected artists will be commissioned to create an original and specific work depicting one of five Colorado wildlife species that live in or near Gore Creek, such as Cutthroat Trout, Boreal Toad, Bald Eagle, American Dipper, Stoneflies, American Beaver or other species at artist's suggestion. The images will be digitally transferred to a slip resistant decal which will be adhered in proximity to selected storm drains throughout the town of Vail. Selected artists will receive a $500 stipend. The enhancement of public places by integrating the creative work of artists improves the pedestrian experience and promotes vibrancy, creativity and livelihood in the community. The presence of and access to public art enlivens the public areas of buildings and their grounds and makes them more welcoming. It creates a deeper interaction with the places where we live, work, and visit. Public art illuminates the diversity and history of a community, and points to its aspirations for the future.
