The City of Walnut Creek, CA is seeking professional artists and/or artist teams to submit qualifications to create significant, site-specific public artwork(s) as part of the new Heather Farm Park Aquatic and Community Center located at 301 N San Carlos Dr in Walnut Creek.

Project construction will begin in 2025 and associated public art should adhere to the City’s public art mission statement, found in the Public Art Master Plan, to “integrate art into the City’s everyday environment and build a dynamic, exciting, and engaging place to live, visit and do business. Through public art, the City’s program aims to make our public spaces more welcoming and to create a dialogue between artists and the community that honors our ideals, history, and shared values.” This RFQ is open to all practicing professional artists and/or artist-led teams based in the US or internationally regardless of race, creed, gender, gender variance, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or religion, marital status, political opinion, or affiliation, or mental or physical disability. The City is committed to being a welcoming community where everyone has sense of belonging. Further establishing Walnut Creek as an inclusive community that welcomes diversity continues to be one of the City Council’s top priorities.

The $953,500 public art allocation will cover costs associated with all phases of the art project(s) including design. Please visit this link for a full prospectus. We hope that you will consider applying and also please share with any artist/artist team that you think may be qualified and interested in this project.
