| DULUTH ART CHAT - Seeking Artists for the Rogers Bridge Public Art Project |
|
The Duluth Public Art Commission (DPAC) of the City of Duluth is pleased to announce a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Rogers Bridge public art project.
In October 2021 historic Rogers Bridge was removed to make way for a new pedestrian bridge connecting to Johns Creek. The bridge, which spanned the Chattahoochee River at Rogers Bridge Park, was 110 years old, almost 230’ long, and weighed in excess of 50 tons. DPAC is seeking a qualified artist to re-purpose salvaged steel from the original bridge and reimagine it into a public art project that will preserve the significance and history in a unique and interesting way, and accompany a newly re-designed Rogers Bridge Park. For more details on the bridge reconstruction project, click here.
Please help us spread the word! The Call for Artist page has all the details for this very exciting project!

| The Public Art Commission meets 5:30pm on the second Wednesday of every month at Duluth City Hall; all meetings are open to the public. Join us to hear about our recent successes and generate new ideas for future projects. We appreciate our volunteers, and hope that keeping people more informed leads to opportunities for engagement, whether by submitting ideas to DPAC, working hands-on via a project sub-committee, or just connecting with other “artful” folks in the community.
