Seeking artists for Seattle's transfer
stations
The Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, in partnership
with Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), seeks two artists for artist
residencies - one at the city's North Transfer Station and one at
its South Transfer Station - to study the facilities' operations, to
develop temporary artworks and to create permanent artworks to
enhance future replacement facilities.
The call is open to professional artists working in Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana, California and British Columbia. The budget
for each artist residency is $140,000. Application deadline is
Friday, September 28.
Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) provides a reliable water supply
to more than 1.3 million customers in King County and provides
essential sewer, drainage, and solid waste services to city of
Seattle customers. SPU considers its existing solid waste recycling,
transfer and disposal facilities, constructed in the 1960's, to be
outdated, worn out, and lacking flexibility to meet the city's
current and future solid waste goals, and there are plans in the
works to upgrade these facilities. The city's goal is to recycle 60
percent of its garbage by 2012, and to reach 70 percent recycling by
2025. |
