The City of Houston Convention and Entertainment Facilities Department (C+EFD), Houston Downtown Alliance and the Cultural Arts Council of Houston/Harris County are pleased to announce a call for artist qualifications to create the Downtown Civic Art Framework and Art Project #1. This is a unique opportunity for an artist or team to develop a vision for the civic art which will celebrate and commemorate the leaders, locations and leading events of Houston's downtown, which includes the Historic District, the Sports District, the Theater District and the George R. Brown Convention Center AND to create the first element, Art Project #1 of this Framework. In succeeding years different artists will have the opportunity to add to this growing collection of commemorative and celebratory civic art projects.
