Public art opportunity in Roanoke, VA
The City of Roanoke and the Roanoke Arts Commission seek qualified artists or artist
teams to design, fabricate and install artwork in the Market Square Walkway Pedestrian
Bridge. The art will hang in the tower end of the bridge on a bracket that will support up to
1000 lbs.
OVERVIEW
• The Arts Commission desires art work that will not only include a piece hanging from
the bracket in the tower, but that may utilize other areas of the bridge so that the
viewer’s eye will be drawn to the hanging artwork.
• The artwork will be indoors in an area with minimal cooling and heating
• Due to height of the bracket the artwork should be durable and require little or no
maintenance
• Existing art that is one of a kind will be considered
