City of Duluth, Georgia

Living Honorarium

A Public Art Project
$50,000 Commission for Winning Artist or Artist Team

On behalf of the City of Duluth, Ga., the Duluth Fine Arts League (DFAL) is sponsoring a public art project entitled “Living Honorarium”. The artwork, conceived of by former Duluth Mayor, Shirley Lasseter, is intended to honor living firefighters, veterans, and police officers, and will offer a place for reflection on the public service given by these dedicated people daily.

The project is open to artists living in the Southeastern U.S. (as defined in the “Call” on the artsduluth website), working in any medium. Up to five (5) artists (or artist teams) will be short-listed as semifinalists and will be required to present a detailed written proposal, a mockette of proposed artwork. Semifinalists will receive an honorarium of $500 to prepare and present the proposal in person. The winner will receive a $50,000 commission. This contract amount is inclusive of all costs associated with the project.

Information on the project, including all details regarding application, may be found at the DFAL website: www.artsduluth.org under the “Living Honorarium” link.
