About this opportunity
The City of Madison, Wisconsin, through its City Planning agency and the Madison Arts Commission, is seeking qualified artists, artist teams, or arts companies to create site-specific public art for the new State Street Campus Garage project. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) invites artists to develop artwork for the east side of the garage structure along Hawthorne Court and inside the ground floor bus terminal, creating an L-shaped canvas. The project aims to produce a vibrant, engaging artwork that celebrates Madison's unique cultural identity and enhances the pedestrian and bus terminal experience. The procurement will follow a two-phase selection process: an initial qualifications review to select up to three finalists, followed by a site-specific design application phase where selected artists will receive a $2,000 honorarium to develop detailed proposals. Submissions are due on September 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with the evaluation focusing on the artist's ability to create a compelling, light-engaging piece that makes the space more welcoming and culturally significant.
The RFQ does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, suggesting the opportunity is open to a broad range of professional artists and artistic entities. The total project budget is $320,000, which must comprehensively cover all project expenses including design, fabrication, installation, artist fees, insurance, and engineering reviews. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no specified requirements for integration with existing infrastructure or technology. The Ad Hoc State Street Campus Garage/Hawthorne Court Public Art Committee will oversee the selection process, working in conjunction with the Madison Arts Commission to ensure the chosen artwork meets the project's aesthetic and cultural objectives. Finalists will be expected to develop detailed proposals that demonstrate their understanding of the site, Madison's cultural context, and their ability to create a transformative public art installation that enhances the urban environment.
