The City of Whittier Art in Public Places Committee is seeking an artist to commission an illuminated art piece on Whittier Blvd. The art should be designed appropriately for the site given and functionally fit the dimensions in a way in which the public will visually interpret the piece on-site while driving or walking by.
The site is at the corner of a busy highway across from the newly redeveloped area in Whittier called The Groves.
The site is approximately 127ft at its longest part, by 39 ft at its widest part. It is a long and narrow parcel of land with a concrete rectangle at the Northwest side of the parcel. It has electrical access as it used to hold a sign that pointed towards Uptown Whittier. The current brick and concrete foundation can be removed.
The current budget for this project is $250,000.
