The Public Art Committee and Petaluma Fire Department are soliciting qualifications for artists to complete the public art component of the new Fire Station #1 located at 307 Petaluma Boulevard South. The budget for the art piece is currently $70,000-$90,000 and is based on 1% of the construction cost of the Fire Station project. The primary area of focus for the new art is the proposed 8 foot high by 40 foot long concrete masonry unit (CMU) wall located at the west side of the property that runs all the way up to the property line at Petaluma Boulevard. There is interest in the idea that the wall's art may reflect the history and/or story of Petaluma or the Petaluma Fire Department. Applications must be hand-delivered or postmarked no later than August 1, 2008. Please click on the links below for more information.
