Adams County Parks, Open Space & Cultural Arts seeks an artist or artist team to create a series of original sculptures for a group of medians running down Pecos Street in southwest Adams County. This stretch of Pecos is a gateway between Adams County and North Denver, a busy transportation corridor, and home to many families and small businesses.
We are looking for an artist who can capture the vibrant energy of this urban neighborhood. This highly visible sculpture series will be enjoyed by heavy commuter and freight traffic, as well as bus riders, cyclists, and pedestrians. Artworks will be viewed from a short distance and at varying speeds. Local residents along Pecos will view this series from their front porches and living room windows.
Views of the city skyline, the movement and undulation of the corridor, the intersection of neighborhood and industry, and a sense of play will drive artwork design. Artwork should help create a sense of place in the surrounding the environment.
We encourage artists to submit images of past works that reflect this vision. A strong knowledge of materials, transit public art projects, and familiarity with Colorado Department of Transportation Public Art Guidelines is required for this project.*
*This is not a CDOT project. Pecos St. is a County Road and artists will work with Adams County for permits and access, however relevant CDOT standards for integrated public art will be followed.
