The location is presently vacant (primarily gravel-covered with flat topography), triangular-shaped, and surrounded on all sides by public streets. The 16,000 square feet property is also situated in close proximity to the southern border of the City of San Leandro, providing it with high visibility to any motorists, bicyclists or pedestrians entering the City along the highly-trafficked East 14th Street corridor.
All submitted artwork will be processed through a jury panel, including appointed members of the City of San Leandro Arts Commission, who will make the final selection on the work of art to be installed.
Artists may apply to install any medium that can endure the outdoors in a public setting for a period lasting between twelve to twenty-four months. All object-based sculptures must be securely mounted to the ground or plinth at the designated site, and all work must be made safe for children and pedestrian traffic. We are looking for mid-range to large scale artwork.
A stipend of $7,500 will be offered to the artist for the loan of their artwork. Although there are no geographic restrictions for applicants, artists are responsible for transportation from outside of California’s Bay Area region. LAB will assist with installation, and deaccession of their work, as well as returning the site to its original condition. Each sculpture will be identified with a nameplate provided by LAB.
LAB will monitor the condition of the sculpture on a weekly basis; however the artist is responsible for repairs or maintenance of their work, LAB will insure all selected artwork. Assistance from participating artists is expected.
Please view Local Artists Berkeley website for submission details at www.localaristsberkeley.org and/or email us with any questions at info@localartistsberkeley.org, we are happy to help you with any questions.
