REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
PHASE I

This is the Request for Qualifications application for the "I" Am Allen Bicentennial Scupture project. We are seeking muralists to paint pre-fabricated fiberglass sculptures. The Prospectus outlines important project information; PLEASE DOWNOAD AND READ THE I AM ALLEN PROJECT PROSPECTUS.

OVERVIEW

During the Request for Qualifications, RFQ Phase, PHASE I, an Allen County Bicentennial Committee review panel will evaluate initial RFQ application responses according to the criteria outlined within the Prospectus. Fifteen (15) artists or artist teams whose proposed qualifications demonstrate, in the review panel’s sole opinion, the qualifications that best fulfill the purposes of this project will be chosen for PHASE II.

In PHASE II artists will sign a contract with the Allen County Bicentennial Committee. Artists will create proposal concept(s) based on the creative brief/theme provided by the community. All of the artist’s proposals will undergo a jury review. There may be requests for some changes to the proposed artwork. When a satisfactory design concept is approved by the Allen County Bicentennial Mural Committee, local representatives, and the Fort Wayne Public Art Commission (as needed), the artist will be notified. The fully primed sculpture will be delivered to the address provided by the artist, and the artist is asked to paint their design on the sculpture within the time allowed by the contract. Artists should notify the committee if they are unable to complete the work for any reason.

Questions about this project should be directed to Alex Hall; email: AHPSConsulting@gmail.com
