Boston Children’s Hospital Main Building Addition - Feature Walls

Open Call for New England Region

Deadline: Friday, June 22, 2012 Boston Children’s Hospital Main Building Addition - Feature Walls

Eligibility: Open to artists residing in New England.

Budget: $20,000 per floor, with an overall, all-inclusive budget of $100,000. Finalists will receive a $1,500 proposal development fee.

The Creative Arts Program at Boston Children's Hospital invites artists/designers experienced with durable wall-based art to forward qualifications for the new Main Building addition at 57 Binney Street, slated to open in summer 2013. A series of feature walls – (approximately 7’ x 12’) in patient corridors have been designated on Floors 6-10 for a contiguous public art project. The hallways are visible to immediate traffic and from the 6th floor courtyard and patient rooms in the adjacent building through a glass curtain wall. The theme for the floors bridges the celestial with the depths of the sea, featuring space, sky, earth and the ocean in descending order. The five floors and the art panels are intended to be experienced in their entirety from the exterior and should also provide interest close-up for the young patients, and people of all ages and backgrounds. To ensure an appropriate hospital and healing environment, all surfaces are required to be smooth and relatively non-reflective. The depth of the installation cannot exceed 1.5 inches. The installation is planned for April 2013.
