Thursday, March 6, 2015 - Menifee, CA - Rich Development Company, the developer of the new Town Center Marketplace at Haun Road and Newport Road, is seeking artists or artist teams to design and implement two (2) site-specific sculptures or installations of original design to be installed in late 2015, prior to opening. The initial Call for Artists has already begun and applications are being accepted via email and USPS.
“We are thrilled to be working with the City of Menifee on such an exciting project,” stated Joseph Rich Owner, Rich Development. “We are confident that this public art project will enhance the Town Center Marketplace shopping experience for the entire community.”
The applications will be reviewed by a selection committee and a short list of artists will be invited to move into a secondary selection process. The Selection Committee will consist of one or more representatives from the following entities: Rich Development (Developer), KTGY Group, Inc (Architects), City of Menifee, Menifee Arts Council, Mt. San Jacinto College and a citizen of Menifee. Each entry will be considered separately, but one artist may be selected to create both installations. Theme and artistic direction will be discussed in greater detail after the initial selection process. The sculptures need to be significant in size and be able to hold their own as a public art piece. Materials may include: bronze, fiberglass, resin, stone, painted steel or other permanent medium. There is no fee to apply and chosen artist(s) will be compensated for their work. The application deadline is May 30, 2015.
