The City of Dublin has two opportunities for public art at its Historic Heritage Park and Museums. Artists and/or artist teams are invited to submit qualifications for this project. Opportunities include a monumental sculpture as well as artistic park features. The deadline to submit is July 23, 2021.

Artistic Park Features:
The City anticipates installing an artistic park feature(s) at Heritage Park. This could be one feature, or a series of features spread throughout Heritage Park. A park feature is considered a functional piece of art or art this integrated into the built environment which could include but is not limited to benches, artifact cubes, culture walks, etc. Specific site locations for artwork have not been specified for this project. It is anticipated the location will be highly visible, fit with the existing park design, and meet all applicable park design standards.

Selection is anticipated to take place in Fall 2021, with installation complete in 2022. Heritage Park is located at what is considered the Crossroads of the Bay Area and is a reflection of Dublin’s pioneering families, heritage, and local history. Heritage Park is an active historic park site comprising the Pioneer Cemetery, Old St. Raymond’s Church, Murray Schoolhouse & Museum, Kolb House, and others that tell the story of Dublin, and the Tri-Valleys, unique past. The art budget for the Heritage Park artistic art features is expected to be approximately $100,000 and could be awarded to one, or multiple, artists.

Monumental Sculpture
The City anticipates installing a monumental sculpture at the northeast corner of Heritage Park (Donlon Way and Dublin Blvd.). Alternative locations may be considered during the selection/design process, but it is anticipated the location will be highly visible along Dublin Blvd., which is a main thoroughfare through Dublin. Artwork selection is anticipated to take place in Fall 2021, with installation complete in 2022.
