About
Hazelwood Local and Hazelwood Initiative are seeking qualified artist portfolios for the pursuit of a sculptural art installation to be affixed to the north and/or east building faces of 4800 Second Avenue, at the intersection of Hazelwood and Second Avenues. Metals, resins, and other outdoor-appropriate materials will be considered, with metal as the preferred medium due to its contextual relevance.
This art installation will serve as an iconic gateway piece, serving to welcome passersby into Hazelwood, and marking the nexus of Hazelwood Green and the historic Second Avenue corridor. The artwork will be installed no later than November 2023, and will remain for at least 10 months, after which point it may be repurposed in the neighborhood by the project team.
This opportunity is open to artists based in Greater Pittsburgh, or with ties to the Hazelwood neighborhood. Individual artists or artist teams will be considered. Special attention will be paid to artist teams who have installed similar building installations, or that include a contractor to facilitate installation. Artists without contractors or installation experience are still encouraged to apply.
