Call to Artists: City of Surprise-Spring Training Stadium Art - Phase I

The City of Surprise, in conjunction with the Surprise Arts & Cultural Advisory Commission (SACAC), is seeking qualified artists to design, fabricate and install its latest public art project outside the 1st and 3rd base entrance gates of Surprise Stadium. With an anticipated budget of $400,000 for both pieces, the commission seeks a creative piece or pieces which capture the spirit of baseball. The selected artist(s) will be asked to design a piece or pieces of art that complement the spirit of baseball in Surprise. Qualified artists will have the unique opportunity to create a work or works of art that not only serves as a welcoming entryway to the stadium, but also a signature piece or pieces that will be viewed and visited by hundreds of thousands of people annually, and present opportunities for additional exposure through photos and tags on social media.
