Calls for Artists

The City of Newburyport, in cooperation with the newly formed Public Art Committee (PAC), seeks to commission a signature artwork for prominent display in the newly expanded Market Landing Park Project located in downtown Newburyport.  The call is for an art piece that will showcase our ship building heritage, and convey the importance of ship building and/or maritime activities in Newburyport’s past, which were concentrated in this downtown area along the Merrimack River.  This will be the first project that the Public Art Committee will jury.  It will be paid for with grant funds.  The full Call for Artists may be found below and the deadline for proposals is May 9.
