The City of Kissimmee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) seeks to hire an artist/artist team to design and create an entrance / water feature for Ruby Plaza in Lakefront Park, a twenty-five acre park on Lake Tohopekaliga in the City of Kissimmee. Ruby Plaza will be the focal point of a proposed $25 million park renovation project. The public art should create a compelling entrance to the park that “connects” the City’s historic waterfront to its downtown. There is opportunity within this site to weave together Kissimmee’s past, present and future. The total art budget for this public art project is $750,000. Short list artists will receive an honorarium of $5,000 after presentation of proposals. For complete call to artists & application requirements go to http://www.lakefrontpark.org.
