MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) - The Community Arts Committee of the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation is seeking a qualified artist or artist team to design, fabricate and assist with the installation of an innovative, original outdoor sculpture to be permanently installed at the corner of 4th Street and Pierre Street in downtown Manhattan, Kansas.
The Greater Manhattan Community Foundation said applications are due on December 31, 2021.
The proposed project site is on the corner of two main streets within the downtown sector of Manhattan: Pierre and 4th Streets. This east end of Pierre Street is a visible gateway leading into the town from Highway 177 and Interstate 70.
It is also the start of a historic corridor through one of Manhattan’s earliest and most diverse neighborhoods, and because of its location in a growing commercial and cultural center, the proposed site is poised to exhibit a sizable and impactful piece of work.
