Pitch a Public Art Concept for Mt. Vernon Street Plaza!
The City of Lynn, the Downtown Lynn Cultural District (DTLCD), the Lynn Office of Community Development and the Lynn Public Arts Commission (LPAC) are seeking an artistic concept for a signature work of art at Lynn’s Mt. Vernon and Exchange Street Plaza. The goal of this project is to install artwork that reflects the spirit of Lynn, enlivens the gateway to the DTLCD as a destination, and increases use of the Plaza as a gathering space.
SITE
Artists are encouraged to envision concepts for a circular patch of land reserved for public art in the sidewalk plaza at the corner of Mt. Vernon Street and Exchange Street.
AWARDS
Pre-qualified public art concepts are eligible for funding up to $75,000, less any funds allocated for concept development through concept development grant agreements. Funding is inclusive of materials, artist fees, insurance, design and development, fabrication, contingency, and installation costs.
WHO CAN APPLY
Current residents of Lynn, Massachusetts, and the North Shore are strongly encouraged to apply. The call is open to any resident of the United States of America aged 18 years or older; however, individuals located outside of Massachusetts must partner with an individual or organization in Massachusetts. Individuals, organizations, and teams with experience in community engagement and the design and fabrication of public art are eligible. Artists lacking experience in either community engagement or the design and fabrication of sculptural artwork must subcontract or partner with another individual or entity that can demonstrate the relevant experience. Any subcontractor must be identified as part of the team submitting for artist pre-qualification. Eligibility criteria are included in Sections II and III.

In 2012, the Massachusetts Cultural Council designated a portion of Downtown Lynn as one of the Commonwealth's inaugural Cultural Districts. Although appointed in 2012, the history of arts & culture activism in Downtown Lynn goes back decades. Countless individuals and organizations have contributed their time and energy to Downtown Lynn. The Downtown Lynn Cultural District (DTLCD) is a keeper of this movement and collaborates with cultural partners, both new and well-established, to foster a shared creative and cohesive vision for the city’s cultural community.
Lynn's Cultural District has gained much positive momentum in recent years, and the City is interested and invested in building on the successes of all of the DTLCD cultural partners. Identifying the gateway and boundaries of the DTLCD through creative community placemaking and a unique signature work of art is a critical element of this investment. The signature work of public art, which is the subject of this Call for Artists, should identify the Cultural District and should represent the heart of the community by providing a meaningful display for all Lynn residents to connect to and enjoy. The work of art should act as a magnet, drawing in visitors from surrounding areas and beyond.
In order to progress toward the creation of this artwork and a visually compelling approach to marking district gateways, the City of Lynn Department of Community Development, the Downtown Lynn Cultural District, and the Lynn Public Art Commission has retained the Metropolitan Area Planning Council to develop a Call for Artists and a creative placemaking strategy. To develop the strategy, MAPC is engaging residents, businesses, local institutions, and artists to identify areas of strength, emerging challenges and a shared vision for a compelling work of art that has widespread community support.
Lynn Creative Placemaking Working Group
The Lynn Creative Placemaking Working Group includes representatives from businesses and organizations active in the cultural district and active in promoting arts and culture throughout Lynn. Organizations represented in the group include the Lynn Public Schools Fine Arts Department, Ironbound Marketplace, the New Lynn Coalition, The Brickyard Collaborative, the Food Project and Lynn Farmers Market, North Shore Community College, the Khmer Cultural Planning Committee and Lynn YMCA, as well as working artists.
What Makes Lynn Special?
In thinking about what makes Lynn a special place, this group identified its local pride, its authenticity, and its people, including immigrants, youth, and multi-generational families. The group emphasized the city’s strength and resilience in the face of hardship and challenge. It is important that public art practices in Lynn build on the strength of who is here and connect to the residents of Lynn in a meaningful way. Lynn is a city of hidden assets from its natural resources to its historic artifacts to its multi-ethnic cultural diversity.
LIST OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS
The following sections provide details on the values identified by the Lynn Creative Placemaking Working Group to guide artists in the development of their proposals and site-specific considerations that applicants may wish to understand as they develop their concepts.
VALUES
Engagement and Interaction
The artwork should invite interaction from visitors and the process of developing the artwork should engage with local residents, artists and organizations. Ideally the work would also invite peer-to-peer interaction, and allow visitors to experience connection with something larger than themselves.
Multi-generational
Youth, seniors, families, young adults, past generations and future. An artwork that helps build connections across generations and across time would resonate with Lynn.
Education
The artwork should help educate the general public on the value and importance of public art as part of the city’s fabric.
Justice
Residents of Lynn are grappling with rising housing costs, environmental degradation, drug use, and other challenges with many local organizations bringing creative approaches with a focus on justice to generate opportunity from challenges. Installing artwork that can tap into that value of justice is important to the Lynn Creative Placemaking Advisory Group.
Support
Make sure the Lynn community and artists feel supported throughout this process.
Positivity and Joy
This work of art should be a source of positivity and joy.
Vivid/Colorful
Consider the bright vivid red along the viaduct. Adding more vivid color would enhance the site.
SITE-SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS
Think About How People Use the Space. A majority of people pass through the site on their way to the train station and surveys have indicated that many people do not find the Plaza to be a comfortable place to spend time. Users would welcome art that integrates seating, lighting or plant life to enhance the space. Your artwork may address these issues by creating space for people to pause and relax, or enhance the site’s role as a gateway.
Consider the Edges and Organizations. The site is used by its immediate neighbors and they will continue to transform its identity. This summer it will host weekly farmer’s markets and events run by the Ironbound Marketplace. The LynnArts building opens onto the sidewalk across from the site on Exchange Street, and Beyond Walls is moving into a building along Mt. Vernon Street. RAW Artworks is located on the other side of the Viaduct, and North Shore Community College is just at the intersection of Spring Street and Broad Street. Think about how your project might relate to or how your process might integrate these organizations at the edges of the site.
Capitalize on the Existing Aesthetic. With its combination of murals and raw architectural features around the Plaza, this site provides an urban oasis within Lynn. The Plaza itself however is dominated by concrete and is periodically occupied by loud buses with diesel exhaust. Artwork here can provide a brief respite from the hardscape and pollution while enhancing connections to the urban fabric that surrounds the site.
Remember that this Space is a Commuter Zone. The site provides access to the Commuter Rail station above and a major bus stop on Mount Vernon Street. Additionally there is parking on Mount Vernon Street and other parking lots that empty onto the street, making this one-way street an area of high volumes of vehicular traffic. A signature work can provide a visual cue to alert drivers to slow down.

APPENDIX C: SITE PLAN (see site plan link above)
APPENDIX D: SITE CONSIDERATIONS
The Art Installation Site is located on property owned by the City of Lynn within a sidewalk plaza that provides protected pedestrian access through the MBTA viaduct, connecting Downtown Lynn to the waterfront. The plaza accommodates a variety of uses from pedestrian access to bus and rail connections to events and social activities. In addition, the parcel is adjacent to the viaduct and the Newburyport/Rockport Commuter Rail Line owned by the MBTA. The Newburyport/Rockport Commuter Rail line has the second-highest weekday two-way ridership of the commuter rail system averaging 14,003 two-way riders per weekday in 2012. It is critical that the design and installation of the proposed artwork does not impinge upon the safety of MBTA customers and staff and that it does not disrupt railroad operations. The considerations below outline steps that artists are expected to take to minimize negative impacts to the existing uses of the site and to the MBTA commuter rail system.
MBTA CONSIDERATIONS
The MBTA property adjacent to the Art Installation Site is delineated in the lower right corner of Appendix C: Site Plan Diagram marked “Remaining Land of / Massachusetts Bay / Transportation Authority / 1987-8809 / Block 617 Part Lot 8 / Part of Lot L9,” and comprises the viaduct and commuter rail tracks, which are elevated approximately 17 feet above street level. The Art Installation Site is located 26 feet from the MBTA property line.
ADA ACCESSIBILITY
The site plan identifies the locations of various infrastructure and amenities located around the Art Installation Site including street trees, an electrical box, and light poles. Attention to pedestrian accessibility through the site will be an important consideration for public art concepts. Individuals using motorized wheelchairs require even surfaces and adequate space to maneuver around obstructions. The Federal Highway Administration makes the following recommendation in regard to providing adequate accessible accommodations for pedestrians in their publication “Accessible Sidewalks and Street Crossings”:
“The pedestrian zone is the area of the sidewalk corridor that is specifically reserved for pedestrian travel. This area should be free of all obstacles, protruding objects, and any vertical obstructions hazardous to pedestrians, particularly for individuals with vision impairments. The pedestrian zone should be at least 1.8 m-3.0 m (6-10 ft) wide or greater to meet the desired level of service in areas with higher pedestrian volumes… Wheelchair users need about 1.5 m (5 ft) to turn around and 1.8 m (6 ft) to pass other wheelchairs.”
CONSIDERATIONS AND DESIGN/INSTALLATION RESTRICTIONS
-
Artists should propose concepts that can be installed without a crane to minimize potential risk and impact to the MBTA’s customer safety and railroad operations.
-
Design and fabrication of artwork and all component parts should be stable and resistant to tipping, falling, or detaching.
-
It is strongly recommended that artists adhere to the following size restrictions:
-
Artwork should not exceed 20’ in height.
-
Artwork should not include any elements that create a physical impediment to pedestrian, bicycle or motorized wheelchair movement more than 5’ beyond the Art Installation Site to preserve a 10’ wide pedestrian zone around the artwork.
-
Proposed elements that extend beyond the Art Installation Site should maintain a 10’ wide pedestrian zone through the plaza around existing obstacles.
-
Artwork should not impede ongoing maintenance and repair of sidewalk plaza surrounding the Art Installation Site.
