East Valley Community Health Center Invites Local Artists To Submit Proposals
for Artwork for Pomona Clinic
August 4,
2014— East Valley Community Health Center has launched a request for proposals
(RFP) that provides local artists an opportunity to display their talents and be
recognized in the community by creating and implementing a permanent public art
project. The artwork will be installed on
the outer wall of East Valley’s recently inaugurated health center in Pomona. The
selected artist or team will be given a budget of $33,000 to complete the
project.
“The successful proposal will help define East
Valley Community Health Center’s façade as a cultural space, bringing positive
attention to the building and ultimately contributing to the cultural legacy of
the City of Pomona,” said East Valley CEO Alicia Mardini.
The project will have a community component that provides the opportunity for students enrolled in local schools to participate in the creation of the final work. The competition is open to artists who work or live within the cities of Pomona, La Verne, or Claremont.
