Budget estimate

$1,000,000 – $2,000,000

The solicitation notes a total budget of “more than $1 million” for 45 commissions, implying an average award of roughly $22,000‑$30,000 per artwork. Assuming the full $1‑2 million range is allocated, the client could expect earnings anywhere from $1 million (minimum) to $2 million (if the budget expands or includes additional fees). Factors influencing the final amount include the size and complexity of each artwork, material costs, fabrication timelines, and any supplemental installation services.
