Grant dollars available through application process for Artwork!

The city-sponsored Public Arts Grant Task Force in Hastings is currently seeking artists to apply for a grant for the latest public arts project. The Task Force is seeking an artist to enhance the exterior of a metal warming house used in Levee Park on the riverfront in downtown Hastings. The warming house, fashioned from a shipping container, is placed near a small skating rink that was designed during Hastings Riverfront Renaissance. It is utilized during the winter months and is highly visible and easily viewed by all who gather to skate, play, or stroll on the Hastings RiverWalk.

Artists will be asked to provide a written description of the proposed artwork, samples of previous work, specifications for installation, and proposed commission price. The artwork will be installed outdoors and is expected to be able to withstand harsh Minnesota weather in all seasons. The task force is currently reaching out to artists across the Midwest, and plans to install the artwork during the coming winter season.

Deadline to submit proposals is 4:30 p.m. on August 14, 2017.
Details and application materials can be found at City of Hastings Public Arts page
