- Opportunity: The Arts and Science Council in Charlotte, North Carolina, on behalf of Mecklenburg County, invites artists/teams living anywhere in the United States to submit qualifications for public art opportunities at the new Hal Marshall facility at Freedom Center, a partially occupied retail mall built in the early 1970s and being converted through adaptive reuse for County services.
- Information: Mecklenburg County is midway through an adaptive reuse project at Freedom Mall, a partially occupied retail
mall built in the early 1970s. With economic revitalization and services growth as primary business goals,
Mecklenburg County wanted the converted facility to invite and attract people, increase occupancy, create
business opportunities and enhance its overall image. Various site opportunities exist for both interior and exterior spaces, including: Exterior gateway or ‘beacon’ sculpture at entryway drive from Ashley Street; Interior centerpiece sculpture or architectural enhancement, Customer Service area; Sculpture or architectural enhancement at or near the LUESA (Land Use and Environmental Services
Administration) entrance;
Various other possibilities including addressing glass, walls, or 3-dimensional space on the interior. Options are open to discussion by the design team depending upon artists’ ability to create innovative, original
works on a significant scale. This facility signifies a major commitment by the County to state-of-the-art
workspace and public facilities, open community access, and environmental consideration in development. The
public artwork will similarly exhibit a contemporary, sophisticated sensibility while creating a unique,
outstanding, and ‘place-making’ identifier for this new services center. Complete prospectus may be found on the Arts and Science Council (ASC) website, at www.artsandscience.org
- Requirements: The application deadline is 5:00 p.m. Friday, November 7, 2008. Please Note, QUALIFICATIONS ONLY; no request for proposal is being issued and none will be considered at this time.

- Opportunity: Hidden treasure, a local gourmet seafood and buffet restaurant, will be hosting its first art show on September fifth. We are interested in VCU students and all other artists to exhibit their work. Painting and sculpture are preferred. September fifth is first Friday of September, and we anticipate a large number of visitors, as the restaurant is already well known. Although we already have a sizable number of participating artists, we would love to have more locals and emerging artists to participate as well. It is a great opportunity for anyone wishing to get their name out to the public, and to sell some of their work.
- Information: The restaurant will be closing its normal service for that evening, however the show dose offer a wine tasting and butler style gourmet small foods. The show begins at five and ends at ten; however that may change to accommodate the entire day. Surrounding galleries have agreed to allow us to market in their facilities in exchange for a switch list (list of other galleries for the visitors at the restaurant to see) placed in the restaurant during the show. We hope that we will have a lot of visitors, and anticipate a busy evening. Upon request, we will allow unsold work to remain on display in the restaurant for an undetermined amount of time after the show.
- Requirements: Artist are responsible for the framing of all paper work, however work on canvass can remain unframed. Artists are invited from all genres of sculpture and painting. Please keep in mind that the faculties are not large enough to accommodate large sculptural works, or many over sized paintings. If you have a work you think may pose an issue of size, please contact us with its dimensions, and we will try our best to accommodate it. A small fee for participation will be charged, however no wall space rent, or sale commission will be collected by the restaurant. Artists may present, in the event they are not available to be present for the show, a concept overview and a description of each work so that questions can be answered if they are posed by a patron. Please respond as soon as possible, as the restaurant will be largely striped of tables and decor to make room for the work, and we need to know how many artists will be present to arrange the rooms appropriately. There is no limit on the number of pieces, however unless the works are small, please try to limit your pieces by about 5 to 7. Again, this is a great opportunity for any student or professional artist, and your best work should be in the show. We look forward to hearing from you!
