Description
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Art in Architecture Program is commissioning American artists to create publicly scaled and permanently installed artworks for the new Chattanooga U.S. Courthouse project in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The art budget for this project is estimated to be between $800,000 to $1,100,000. The selected artist will be required to collaborate with the lead designer, travel to the project site, develop and present preliminary and final concepts, fabricate the artwork, and participate in meetings and conservation reviews as necessary.

• The artist should use materials and media that are familiar and meaningful to the local community.
• The artwork should be figurative and allegorical, conveying deeper meaning through recognizable forms and symbolism.
• The artist should have experience with commissions or projects similar to this one.
• The artist should be a Permanent Resident or Citizen of the United States of America.
