CITY OF LAKEWOOD 50TH ANNIVERSARY PUBLIC ART PROJECT CALL FOR ENTRY
The City of Lakewood and the Heritage, Culture and the Arts Division are pleased to announce a request for proposals (RFP) for a new permanent public art project, which incorporates community engagement or interactivity, as the landmark commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Lakewood, CO. The project, a large scale public artwork which integrates community engagement/interactivity and an existing historical landmark within Addenbrooke Park at the corner of Garrison and W Center Avenue in Lakewood, will stand as a permanent celebration of the citizens and history of Lakewood, Colorado. We are seeking an innovative artwork that will reflect the diverse citizens of our City, honor our history and inspire us to look toward the future.
CITY OF LAKEWOOD BACKGROUND
Incorporated in 1969, Lakewood has become a city of more than 44-square miles with a population of just over 150,000, the third largest city in the Denver metro area, and the fifth largest city in the state of Colorado. When the city was incorporated almost 50 years ago, it was a remarkable task of weaving a community together from neighborhoods with a strong sense of identity founded on decades of residents working together to build schools, lay pipelines or install other improvements for themselves. In June 1969, those who lived in the areas of Alameda, Green Mountain, Bear Creek, Applewood and what was informally known as Lakewood voted to create Lakewood. What started as ranchland, turkey farms and early subdivisions of homes has become one of the largest cities in Colorado.

ELIGIBILITY
The RFP is open on a national level to all professional artists, with a preference given to artists who live or work in Colorado or its neighboring states of Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona. The City of Lakewood and the Public Art Committee will comply with all federal, state and local anti-discrimination laws. Interested artists will have demonstrated the capacity to create and install three-dimensional artworks that are innovative and incorporate interactivity and/or community participation.
ARTWORK CRITERIA
This project will serve as a collective public celebration of the 50th anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Lakewood as well as catalyst for positive social engagement and enhanced quality of life through the future community activities that will center around this permanent public artwork component.
The site identified for this public artwork, Addenbrooke Park, includes an existing structure (see visuals 1, 2) that will remain in place. This stone fireplace stands in honor of the founding members of the Lakewood community. The Addenbrooke family collected the stones, which are included in the fireplace, from locations around the world, bringing them home to live in Lakewood. We ask that the new artwork be inspired by the sense of inclusion and place metaphorically exemplified by the Addenbrooke fireplace. The new artwork should either incorporate the existing structure, pay homage to or honor it in some way.
The 50th anniversary project should exemplify strong, imaginative design and content, should provide the community with a visually striking place to gather in celebration and encourage our citizens to see themselves as a part of an inclusive and dynamic city. (See visual 3 map for site location.)
The view of the sculpture must be dynamic from 360 degrees, both up close and from a distance. Height restrictions contingent upon sound structural engineering and Colorado wind tolerances. Due to its high visibility and easy public access, the sculpture must be fabricated with no dangerous edges or protrusions, be inaccessible for climbing (though we STRONGLY encourage significant interactivity within the artwork) and have a coating or be made of a material that protects it from graffiti vandalism. All media and materials will be considered and must be durable and suitable for Colorado’s variable climate (including intense sun, wind, hail and snow.)
The artist will need to work closely with the Public Art Committee and City of Lakewood staff members to further conceptualize the project, including determining preparation of the site, i.e. structural, city codes, etc., permitted placement within the site, electrical, and the method in which the work will be installed.
CITY & COMMITTEE VISION
The following words were used by the City of Lakewood and the Public Art Committee members to describe their vision for the sculpture: Welcoming, heritage, inclusive, community, voices, home, place, natural beauty, innovative, celebration of history.
PROJECT BUDGET
The total budget for the artwork is $80,000 USD. The budget is all-inclusive of artist’s fees and materials including but not limited to design, engineering, basic concrete foundation, insurance, permits, fabrication, labor, shipping/storage; travel, and installation. Electrical needs and landscaping will be addressed through the City of Lakewood Community Resources Department.
