City of Manhattan Beach Seeks Submissions from Artists for Centennial Public Art Project

Manhattan Beach, CA (July 18, 2012) - The City of Manhattan Beach presents an opportunity to professional artists or artist teams for a permanent piece of public art for the City's Centennial celebration. The artist commission for the project is $130,000, using the City's Public Art Trust Fund, and the selected art piece(s) will be displayed in a prominent location(s) in Manhattan Beach. The purpose of the project is to create an exceptional visual experience for locals and visitors, commemorate the City's past, and inspire future generations.

The Art in Public Places Committee (APPC), comprised of the Cultural Arts Commissioners and community members, will review all submissions. All meetings are open to the public, and members of the community are invited to participate in this public art process.

"Successful visual art in a community can foster discussion, celebrate a City's unique culture, engage and inspire the mind and senses, and anchor a key community place," said Mayor Wayne Powell. "Everyone is greatly looking forward to seeing the submissions."
