Bid Title: Call for Artists-Temporary Art Project, Little Libraries Program
Category: Parks and Community Services
Status: Open

Description:

For this project, City Staff will be installing little library boxes at ten different public parks throughout Dublin. Little Library programs are a catalyst for building community, inspiring readers, and expanding book access. Little library boxes provide 24/7 access to books and encourage literary proficiency by sharing your favorite books with your community through the honor system.

The City is seeking artists to paint or stain the Little Library boxes, enhancing the program through visual arts. Artists are encouraged to be as creative as possible when approaching this project. The proposed design should be inviting and encourage patron engagement. Site-specific proposals and general proposals that the City may display at its sole discretion are acceptable. Artists are responsible for preparing, painting/staining, and sealing (City provided sealant) the boxes.

The City will be purchasing prefabricated library box kits. The City will provide the artist with the raw library box kit for painting and/or staining. The artist is expected to pick up and build the little library, complete the painting (including sealant), and return the completed little library to the City for installation. The City will pay a stipend of $500 to selected artists or artist teams.
