Chairman Rocco Landesman announced that the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has released a request for proposals (RFP) for a new "Art Works" logo; the RFP is available at www.arts.gov/artworksdesign
When used by the Chairman, the phrase "art works" has three meanings: the other works of art that are the creation of artists; the effect of art on audiences and viewers; and a reminder that arts workers are real workers with real jobs who are part of this country's real economy. The proposed logos should incorporate all three of the meanings of "Art Works" and tie them to the NEA in such a way that the proposed logo might be used alone or in conjunction with the NEA's current logo.
Proposals are due by 5:00 p.m. EST on Friday, February, 26, 2010. Potential proposers must direct all inquiries to Latonca Harris at harrisl@arts.gov or (202) 682-5476.

The Local Selection Committee at New Mexico State University is interested in commissioning artwork that provides a response to the architecture of the building, enhances livability of the space and conceptually articulates the purpose of the college, which is to collaboratively develop educational practitioners and leaders to work effectively in a diverse society. Artists using innovative concepts and materials are encouraged to apply.
The primary opportunity for artwork placement is a three story atrium which serves as the main entry point of the building and is used for student assemblies, speakers and special engagements. The space is capped by a large skylight that cannot support an additional structural load. Due to the diverse use of the space, free-standing artwork cannot be accommodated on the ground floor of the atrium. There are two secondary exterior locations; the first is directly outside of the main entrance facing Williams Avenue, and the second is outside of the entrance facing Stewart Street. The selected artist or artist team may use any or all of the available space to communicate their inspiration for the project.
Media must be durable, low maintenance, permanent, suitable for outdoor display, safe for both children and adults and be ADA compliant. At the selected artist's expense the artwork may require certification by a licensed structural engineer and a review by a professional Fine Art Conservator.
This project is open to all artists or artist teams who are legal residents of the United States. Artists submitting qualifications should be experienced in creating public funded commission projects of a similar scope. Qualifications submitted by and on behalf of faculty and staff of New Mexico State University will not be considered. Finalists may be required to submit verifiable proof of residency prior to being awarded a contract.
Project Amount
$170,900 is available for this project. This amount includes all fees and expenses associated with the project, e.g., materials, equipment, labor, permits, insurance, taxes, travel, installation, shipping, project plaque, and written and photographic documentation of the completed project.
Up to five finalists will be invited to submit a formal proposal for the project. Finalists will receive a $1000 honorarium for a written proposal and a maquette of the proposed artwork. One site visit will be required of each finalist to include a personal presentation to the Local Selection Committee and the public. All maquettes, samples and written proposals will become the property of New Mexico State University. Additionally, each finalist/team will receive a travel stipend based on mapped mileage according to the following schedule:
$250 for travel and lodging between 50 to 300 miles one-way.
$450 for travel and lodging between 301 to 800 miles one-way.
$900 for travel and lodging over 800 miles one-way.
The artist or artist team that is ultimately awarded the commission project will be required to enter into a Professional Services Contract with the State of New Mexico. A sample Professional Services Contract is available on New Mexico Arts website.
Please Submit:
A letter of interest or statement of qualifications.
A current chronological resume or curriculum vitae demonstrating relevant work experience, particularly public art or privately funded commission projects. Please note that a biography or an autobiography will not fulfill the requirement of a current resume.
An annotated image list containing the title, media, dimensions, year of completion, project description, budget and commissioning agency.

| City of Seattle - Chief Sealth Trail | |
| The Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the Seattle Department of Transportation, seeks an artist to create a three-dimensional permanent outdoor artwork for the Chief Sealth Trail. This opportunity is open to established professional artists living in Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho. The application deadline is 11 p.m., March 16, 2010 (Pacific Time). Information: http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/chiefsealthtrail.htm http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/bikemaster.htm This call is open to professional artists residing in Washington, Oregon, California, Montana and Idaho. SCOPE OF WORK The selected artist/artist team will create a three-dimensional, permanent artwork that marks the Chief Sealth Trail where it crosses Beacon Avenue South in Beacon Hill. The artwork will enliven the streetscape and visually mark the location of the trail for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. The artwork will create visual interest for people traveling on the trail. To call attention to the trail, the artwork should be bold enough to be visible from a distance. Because the artwork must be located on SDOT property, the site is limited to the expansive median on Beacon Avenue South near the intersection with Dawson Street, where the new section of the Chief Sealth Trail will cross the road. The median at this location is 25 feet wide with a pedestrian walkway down the center. The selected artist will develop a design that responds to the site, taking into consideration visibility and the motion of vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. The artist will work with staff from the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, SDOT and members of the local community during the design phase of the project. The timeline for phase II of the Chief Sealth Trail construction is summer 2010, with completion expected by the end of 2010. The selected artist will develop designs for artwork to be installed after the construction of the trail. Depending on the project schedule and budget, there is a limited possibility that the construction budget may cover some aspects of the art elements, such as footings, but this assistance is not guaranteed. BUDGET $50,000 all inclusive APPLICATION DEADLINE March 16, 2010, 11:00 p.m. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
The artist/artist team selected will be notified at the conclusion of interviews and panel deliberations. Please do not call the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs. Applicants will receive notification of the panels decision by e-mail. The Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs reserves the right not to select any of the applicants. Information: Please contact Marcia.Iwasaki@seattle.gov or (206) 233.3946. Office Hours: Monday and Tuesday 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.; Wednesdays 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. For assistance with the CaFE online application process, contact CaFE tech support at (888) 562-7232 or cafe@westaf.org, Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. |

Pangaea Highway is an online independent publication (e-zine) presenting an internet exhibition forum for locals to share and create art. Every two months the editorial board selects a new theme for the upcoming issue, so check out the site for upcoming deadlines and submit work often!
http://pangaeahighway.wordpress.com/
Pangaea Highway e-zine is intended to establish a dynamic connection between the readership and the creative team, by expanding opportunities for original self-expression in all the literary, visual and performing arts genre through the use of new literacies. We exist without borders, and encourage our readership to submit original work, to speak for themselves, and to co-create a compendium of all that is going on within the culture. The e-zine will serve as a technological gallery space that is out of the conventional frame and protean in nature. Our vision requires the readership and the contributors to self-identify rather than merely consume predigested content as assigned by the editors and publisher.
Sushanna Ellington, Editor-in-Chief
Why are we doing the Get Involved Arts Initiative:
The St. Helena Public Library has identified "The Arts" as a key means of engaging people. Our library is known as a place of social activity and is developing a reputation as an outlet for artistic expression and discovery. We plan to capitalize on this status by using volunteers to develop and provide programs for children, teens and adults that will introduce new ways for all to engage with each other, explore their own artistic skills through creative expression, and expand their knowledge of art culture and history.
To stay relevant to our times, the library is looking for new ways to serve the community. There are people in St. Helena and Napa Valley with very unique skills and abilities that share our vision of the library as a place of community engagement and a cultural hub. We hope to profit from these individuals by including them in our efforts to be innovative in fulfilling future community needs, attracting new users to the library and meeting the needs of the underserved.
How it works:
We are looking for volunteers who share our vision of a community that embraces the arts. We need volunteers to help us develop, create, implement and evaluate programs for all ages. This is a new way of using volunteers that empowers them to direct their own work. Volunteers bring us the ideas and we collaborate with them by providing them the tools and the authority to execute their own vision. Using volunteers the library will create connections and networks in our community through the arts, for the arts, and of the arts. This will allow the library the opportunity to expand and build on existing services and resources by providing new ways for people to network, get involved, experience the arts, and be art practitioners without personal expense. Everybody in the community can participate whether they are artistic or not they can get involved. There are many levels and many roles to this ongoing vision.
How you can help:
Get the word out. Talk about it. Refer people, particularly artists, Contact us for more information.
