The Pocatello Art Council (PAC) in Idaho is seeking proposals
from Northwest sculpture artists (Idaho, Montana, Wyoming,
Washington, Oregon and Utah) for a public art installation
to be located in the entranceway of the new Grizzly Bear
Exhibit at the Pocatello Zoo in Southeast Idaho. Deadline is
October 15, 2010 (Note: This is an extension of an earlier
May 15 deadline).
The proposed work is to be located at
the entrance to a new Grizzly Bear Exhibit which will be
landscaped with native flora to emulate a Northwest wooded
area. The proposed 3D work should integrate within the
environment to create interest, promoting contemplation and
encouraging rest for visitors. The proposed artwork should
deal with the subject matter of “Grizzly”. Reference to the
Grizzlies’ direct connection to a water habitat for survival
is desirable.
A maximum of $15,000 dollars will be
awarded to the selected artist/collaborative team for the
completion and installation of this work. Funding is being
provided by the Pocatello Arts Council and the generous
support of the Ifft Foundation Fund in the Idaho Community
Foundation.

The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
