FY23 Commemorative Works Technical Assistance Program

REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS

The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (CAH), in partnership with the District of Columbia Office of Planning offers this call to artists relative to the Commemorative Works Technical Assistance Program (TAP). CAH seeks District-based artists or artist teams experienced in designing and fabricating largescale outdoor public art, commemorations, or memorials, and with public engagement to be a part of a collaborative concept design team for TAP. TAP will provide design services to District communities, Main Street Organizations, and/or other groups to support development of four commemorative works projects in the District. Up to four (4) selected artists/artist teams will collaborate with consultants from OP that will provide design and project management services directly to communities and organizations sponsoring commemorative works projects. These design services will assist community organizations in Wards 4, 5, 7, and 8. Assistance will include preparing for a site in each Ward a site analysis and vision board, three initial design concepts for a commemorative work honoring a specific subject in a specific location, revising concepts based on feedback from the public, completing commemorative work applications for review by the District’s Commemorative Works Committee (CWC), completing other required reviews for the commemorative works, and preparing a preferred concept based on feedback from other review bodies, the CWC, and in consultation with the public.
