The NYC DOT Art Advisory Committee and a project specific selection jury will review applicants. All finalists will be invited for an interview. Once an artist or artist team (the “Artist”) has been selected per priority site, NYC DOT Art will act as the liaison between the Artist and the Partner Organization throughout the commissioning process. Selected artworks may remain installed for up to 11 months and selected Artists are eligible to receive up to $20,000 towards direct project costs for sculptural work or two-dimensional work.

The Pitt County Arts Council at Emerge seeks to commission images to be included in a public art project in Greenville, NC. Imagery should reflect the city’s diverse demographics and should welcome travelers of all backgrounds to experience art in an inclusive environment. Any subject matter and design can be proposed, but an emphasis on community, innovation, and/or culture is encouraged.

The selected artist will create an original design that will be reproduced on large vinyl banners measuring 120 x 204 inches and installed in five archways on the side of Starlight Café located at 104 W. 5th Street in Greenville, NC. The archways face Five Points Plaza, a parking area that is converted to an events location for popular community events.

The selected artist will be compensated a total of $2,000. The banners will be on display for three years, and then rotated thereafter with a new design.
