North City Project artist proposals
The city of Shoreline is seeking an artist to create a significant outdoor series of work to accompany the North City Project. The city has allocated 1 percent of the construction cost of the project for public art. The selection committee envisions that the art will be placed outdoors and should be designed appropriately to withstand local weather conditions.
Artists are encouraged to download a copy of the Call for Artists brochure from the city’s Web site, www.cityof- shoreline.com. Additional questions should be directed to administrative assistant Lisa Dustin at 206-546-5667.
