    Request for Qualifications for An Outdoor Sculpture Commission at Hartwood Acres Park Release date: Friday, October 30, 2020 Allegheny County Parks Foundation in Partnership with Allegheny County Budget: $100,000 Deadline: December 21, 2020 at 4:00 PM EST SUMMARY The Allegheny Parks Foundation in partnership with Allegheny County is soliciting proposals from individual artists or an artist team to install sculptural work outside at Hartwood Acres, one of the nine county parks. The artist or artist team will work in collaboration with the Allegheny County Parks Foundation to coordinate the design, fabrication and installation of the new artwork. The budget for this project is $100,000. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Allegheny County Parks Foundation strengthens the health and vibrancy of the community by improving, conserving and restoring the nine parks in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Working in partnership with Allegheny County, the Parks Foundation brings together ideas, leadership and resources to make the parks more sustainable and enjoyable for all. Originally designed as a country estate for an equestrian family, Hartwood Acres Park channels its opulent past in 629 acres of beauty. The original bridle trails still serve runners, bikers and cross-country skiers today. The park is well-known for its popular outdoor entertainment, including free summer concerts at the amphitheater. The newest treasure is the reimagined Hartwood Acres Sculpture Garden, an outdoor exhibition space for public art. Eleven sculptures were gifted to Hartwood Acres Park in the 1980s, when it was envisioned as an arts and culture park. A twelfth sculpture was added years later and another is on loan from the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.

  • Artists at Bennington Visual Arts Faculty 1932 - 1976
    ARTISTS AT BENNINGTON VISUAL ARTS FACULTY 1932 - 1976 Since its inception, Bennington College has maintained an invaluable art exhibition program. With the recent completion of The Suzanne Lemberg Usdan Gallery, the possibilities for broadening the range of significant art shown at Bennington become even greater. Bringing vital, challenging, and historic exhibitions to the College instructs and exposes students, facul- ty, and the community at large to the continuum of artistic traditions and ferment usually centered in the larger cities. Seeing art of high quality is the first stimulus to its creation. Many who have already visited Usdan Gallery have remarked on its excellent exhibition facilities as being unparalleled outside a major museum setting. To those who have yet to experience the gal- lery's luminous spaciousness, this dedication exhibition offers a grand opportunity. And to all those most involved in the planning, funding, and completion of Usdan Gallery, thanks and congratulations are due. A PERSONAL REC O LLECTI O N In the fa ll of 1957 Alexander Doerner d ied while he was on sabbatical in Naples. I was invited to and Stanley Rosen joined the art faculty. In all my experience I have never known a faculty which more or less ta ke his place. At my insistence and with the help of Paul Feeley I convinced Bill Fels that worked together more amiably and more intensely. This is not to say that our d iscussions and our p a rt of my job w ould be to organize and direct art exhibitions for the College and that the New manners were always based in benignity.

The importance of the gift lies not only in the fact of the distinguished building and the art objects which it houses, but also in the fact of their presence as a potential, a place and a situation where the creative spirit, traditional and activist, may find a laboratory, a workshop and an audience. The garden is first of all a physical enlargement of the gallery facility, but it is as well an expansion of the interpretive function of the institution as a whole.

Vargas Submitted to the Department of Urban Studies and Planning on May 28, 1984 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of City Planning. ABSTRACT Government authorities support the production of public art more vigorously than ever before. But the role of government in public art production is being debated. Critics accuse government art funding agencies of catering to the artistic tastes of society's upper classes while advocates of governmental support argue that emphasis on high artistic quality and peer review selection process ensure fairness. To date poor descriptions of the variety of public artworks have focussed the debate on vagueries rather than statistical material.
