City of Loveland-LFRA Fire Station 7 and 10
Public Art & Proposals
- Submission Deadline: May 5, 2024
- Award Info: Public artwork with a budget of $99,400 total.
- Eligibility: Local
- Categories: Craft/Traditional Arts, Mixed-Media/Multi-Discipline, Sculpture
- Location: Loveland, CO, United States
LRPA FIRE STATIONS 7 AND 10
The City of Loveland Art in Public Places is accepting Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) for an Artist to create unique exterior works of public artwork for Fire Station 7 and Fire Station 10, located within the Loveland Fire Rescue Authority boundaries, which extend beyond Loveland City limits. There are 187 square miles and over 109,000 people served within this area. Artists may be considered for one or both projects. Below, each fire station has a detailed overview of the site.
The preferred themes and locations for the final artwork selections are outlined within this RFQ. There is a desire for artists’ interpretations as each station has its unique characteristics, offering artists innovative and creative opportunities to utilize historical objects to tell the story of rural firefighting, the wildlands and wildlife within its boundaries.
When submitting your application, Artists must state their preference for Fire Station 7, Fire Station 10 or both projects. Please note that the City is currently accepting information regarding qualifications and samples of past work. Artists should not include proposals.
OVERVIEW OF EACH SITE
Each station is described below and presents unique characteristics to their respective sites.
Fire Station 7 is located in the foothills along N. CO Road 27 near the Big Thompson Canyon. The environment surrounding the fire station includes landscaping which includes an educational walking tour of fire hardening and mitigation efforts. Following the station’s destruction during the 2013 flood, a historic fire siren was recovered from the site. Fire staff would like to incorporate the siren into a public artwork display to tell the story of how the flood impacted the community, its response to the disaster, and how the community bounced back. The siren is heavy, measuring approximately 5 x 3 feet.
The total budget for Fire Station 7 artwork is $36,800.
Fire Station 10 is located on Ronald Reagan Blvd in Johnstown and was opened in October of 2022. The community room and training center, just off the main entry, is dedicated to showcasing the history of the 140-year-old Bartholf Hose Company's antique hose cart and a photo of the company with some smaller antique equipment. There is a desire to feature visuals of firefighters in period-correct uniforms and equipment from 1883-1910. A modern equipped firefighter could also be incorporated. Artwork will be displayed indoors in front of an 8-foot-high window. It is important to the team that the artwork not only suits the interior space but is also clearly visible from the outside at night.
The total budget for Fire Station 10 artwork is $62,600.
SCOPE AND DESCRIPTION
The selected artist/artist team will be responsible for utilizing the exterior of the site to:
identify sites for integrated artwork
interpret the history and/or functions of Fire & Rescue services
interpret the site using feedback from user groups
identify ways to maximize the Art in Public Places monies by capitalizing upon existing resources and site interpretation
Finalists for this project will be provided with images and videos of the site. Several areas have been identified as key locations for public artwork; however, finalists will have the freedom to present designs for areas of their choice.
The artwork may reflect the nature environment and elements - particularly, wildlands and wildlife, which may draw elements from the 2020 Cameron Peak wildfire, which burned through an area of 208,913 acres on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests in Larimer and Jackson Counties and Rocky Mountain National Park.
The unique characteristics of Fire-related duties and situations.
Strong desire for artwork that reflects the lives of fire personnel.
The artwork may be placed either on or in the building, within the visible, public areas of the site.
BUDGETS: Each project budget includes design, fabrication, insurance, installation, travel, contingency, and all incidental costs.
Project Budgets: Fire Station 7 artwork is $36,800, and Fire Station 10 artwork is $62,600; $99,400 (total) if an artist is awarded both projects.
PROJECT TIMELINE: Finalists for these projects will be expected to provide a timeline at the time of presentation. The construction for both locations has been completed and the timeline is somewhat flexible; however, a final completion date by summer 2025 is desired.
APPLICATION PROCESS: From this RFQ, up to three finalists may be selected to present design concepts for this project. Finalists will be paid an honorarium to develop and present their artwork design concepts. Please do not submit proposals to this RFQ, as those proposals will be removed from the jury process.
All applications must be submitted through the CAFÉ website at: www.callforentry.org. Incomplete applications will not be juried by the artwork selection committee. All applications must include:
a preliminary statement of approach for the project, which communicates experience with projects of similar scope and scale
a minimum of 5 images of fabricated and installed public artwork completed within the past five years that highlight your previous accomplishment(s) with installations of similar appropriate scale. No more than 2 images per project are permitted. Do not submit images of past proposals that have not been executed as your application will be removed from the jury process. Minimum: 5; Maximum: 10 images
your professional resumes for the artist(s) applying to this project specifically highlighting similar outdoor commissions and/or sculpture installations
Three professional references for artist(s) applying to this project
SELECTION CRITIERA
The primary criteria for selection:
Aesthetics: Does the artwork meet the aesthetic preferences as stated within the RFQ?
Assigned Personnel: Does the artist/artist team working on the project have the necessary skills to execute the project? Are there sufficient people with the requisite skills assigned to the project?
Has the artist/artist team completed projects of a similar scope on time and on budget?

JURY OVERVIEW
AIPP staff will oversee operations and administer the decisions of the jury panel.
Areas have been identified as key locations for public artwork; however, finalists will have the freedom to present designs for areas of their choice. All finalists will be provided with images of the site. After the finalists’ presentations, one artist/artist team will be awarded this project.
Each finalist shall present detailed drawings for their concept(s), and detailed narrative of their concept. Additional presentation materials that the artist feels appropriate for the jury panel’s review are highly encouraged.

FINAL COMMISSIONED ARTIST
The awarded artist/artist team will enter into a contract with the City of Loveland and will be required to carry general liability insurance of $1 million and execute the design as presented. Stamped, engineered drawings are required before acceptance and installation.

Joshua Tree National Park Artist in Residence Program
Residency
- Submission Deadline: May 31, 2024
- Entry Fee: Application fee is $35. Additional residency fees may apply.
- Eligibility: International
- Categories: Craft/Traditional Arts, Photography, Drawing, Film/Video/New Media, Mixed-Media/Multi-Discipline, Painting, Sculpture
- Location: Twentynine Palms, California 92277, United States
The purpose of the Joshua Tree National Park Artist in Residence Program is to provide opportunities for artists to creatively explore the resources of Joshua Tree National Park, promoting a deeper appreciation of the natural, cultural, and historical resources therein.
Artists are an important part of the national park system. Writings, paintings, photographs, and public outreach provide opportunities for new audiences to experience national parks. In the era of virtual visits, the role of artists is more important than ever in sharing unique perspectives of national parks with online audiences.
The Joshua Tree National Park Artist in Residence Program (AiR) is open to visual artists, performing artists, musicians and writers. Artist are invited for a one-month stay in fall or spring. There are two objectives for this residency. One is to give artists time to explore the park and pursue their own creative practice. The second is for the artist to share their unique perspective of the park’s resources with others.
Accommodations and Working Conditions
Artists in residence are housed at Black Rock in the northwest corner of the park. This area has a ranger station, a campground and access to many beautiful trails. Sitting at the base of the San Bernardino mountain range, its higher altitude makes this area one of the best for Joshua Trees and somewhat cooler than other parts of the park. Although conditions at this location are often relatively temperate, artists should be prepared for more extreme conditions during the course of their stay, including high winds, low relative humidity and temperatures that can range from 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the day to as low as 30 degrees at night.
Artists sleep in the studio space in the Black Rock Campground, which is furnished with a twin bed and bureau. The studio has a drafting table, several folding tables, and ample natural light. Public toilets are adjacent to the studio space. Shared kitchen, laundry, and bathing facilities are a short walk or drive from the studio at the Interagency Fire Center. The distance between the sleeping space and the kitchen and bathing facility is less than half a mile. The town of Yucca Valley is about a 10 minute drive away and has a variety of shopping and dining as well as medical facilities.
Though housing is provided, artists are responsible for their own expenses such as meals, personal art supplies, transportation, etc. Only one occupant is allowed at any time in housing. Park policy prohibits bringing pets.
Donation of Work to the Joshua Tree National Park Collection
At this time, work is not being accessioned into our museum collection. Therefore, artists are asked to share high-quality, digital images of any works produced as a result of their time in residence with the park, with permission to reproduce the images for the purposes of sharing work created through the residency with the public. Credit will be given to the artist any time the work is reproduced for this purpose.
Black Rock Art Gallery
The gallery is located in the Black Rock Nature Center and exists as a as a space for presenting contemporary interpretations of themes related to the park. Exhibitions are made by selected Artists in Residence as well as community and other artists.
How to Apply
Applications for Fall, 2024 and Spring, 2025 residencies will be accepted April 1- May 31, 2024.

Artist in Residence: 2024-2025 Call
Residency
- Organization: A to Z Wineworks
- Submission Deadline: June 5, 2024
- Eligibility: National
- Categories: Craft/Traditional Arts, Photography, Drawing, Film/Video/New Media, Mixed-Media/Multi-Discipline, Painting, Sculpture
- Location: Newberg, OR 97132
A to Z Wineworks, located at their REX HILL property in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, seeks an Artist in Residence for a term beginning in Fall 2024 with a harvest experience and ending in Fall 2025 as the 2024 vintage is bottled.
The A to Z Artist in Residence program is an immersion in the seasonal life of a winery, observing and participating in the art of winemaking. The artist follows the natural cycle of a vintage, first working a harvest, then remaining involved in the life of the winery while working on their own individual art as the wine moves from grapes to glass. The Artist in Residence initially works the 2024 vintage harvest as a paid intern alongside our seasonal harvest crew and year-round winemaking and production staff. Following the conclusion of harvest, the Artist in Residence receives support from A to Z and access to staff and properties for a period of artistic reflection and creation followed by a second partial harvest experience. The residency concludes with a public showcase of some of the artist’s work through a gallery showing, lecture, reading or performance.
About the Harvest Internship
At A to Z Wineworks, harvest is intense and filled with opportunity as fruit arrives from around the state - primarily Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay, plus a cross-section of other varieties. This diversity of fruit comes from our LIVE-certified and Biodynamically farmed estate vineyards as well as from conventionally farmed locations across many different Oregon AVAs (American Viticultural Areas). The vineyard sizes range from several hundred acres to very small sites.
This paid internship position typically runs from mid-August through early November, depending on the season. We value interns who share in our company culture of working hard, working smart, and learning together. Our interns work with a team that has earned the most years of collective winemaking experience in Oregon, as well as experience that stretches from Burgundy to New Zealand. Our winemakers approach winemaking from different perspectives and they are willing to share what they know.
The internship presents a unique opportunity to learn more about winemaking on different production scales and with different stylistic goals. It provides a diverse work experience, including but not limited to, grape receival, sorting, pressing, punch downs, tank dig-outs, racking, transfers, barrel work, inoculations, wine movements, juice, must and wine additions, driving a forklift and, always, cleaning.
Harvest interns work a demanding schedule, which will almost certainly include long hours, overtime, and weekend work. The role requires the ability to stand and move for at least ten hours; to lift, bend, rotate, move, and carry up to 45 pounds over the course of the shift and on a repetitive basis, and to climb stairs, ladders and work on catwalks. We expect people to work well within a team environment and work with individuals in a respectful manner that is consistent with the company’s values.
About the Residency
Following the conclusion of the harvest, the art residency commences extending through fall 2025.
Location: The Artist in Residence will primarily work at the REX HILL property in the Willamette Valley. The artist will have access to the winery, vineyards and staff throughout the course of the residency.
Disciplines, work equipment and assistance: We are open to proposals from artists, writers and poets across all mediums and disciplines. To learn more about our current and past residents, visit our website at https://atozwineworks.com/our-company/artist-in-residence/
Support: The residency includes a monthly stipend of $800 for the duration of the residency, beginning after completion of the paid harvest internship. Depending on the medium and artist’s proposed focus, limited additional consideration may be provided in support of furnishing project materials. Housing in the winery’s onsite gatehouse can be considered for inclusion in the residency; during harvests, this housing will be shared with other interns.
Expectations of the Artist: A to Z Wineworks supports people, places, and culture. It seems especially important now to support the liberal arts that help to find ways of expanding limited vision and engaging with diverse, thoughtful perspectives that might help us grow as human beings. The artist will be expected to engage with the staff and contribute to the culture of the winery through interactions and presentations, including providing materials to feature in regular internal communications. The artist will engage with the community at the end of the residency through a public showcase of some of the year’s work in a gallery showing, lecture, reading or performance.
Application Information: Interested artists should submit the materials listed below by June 5, 2024:
• A cover letter, describing the artist’s interest in this residency
• A brief resume highlighting work history and relevant qualifications
• An artist’s biography
• A portfolio of relevant work
Interested artists may submit their application materials at: https://atozwineworks.com/artist-in-residence-2023-submissions/ and view our short film featuring the residency and past artists at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFjqByGC4VI
