Seeking an artist with experience with lighting to enhance a pedestrian bridge that will span Court Avenue, connecting the new University of Memphis Law School to Confederate Park. The bridge will be a 200’-long box truss constructed of steel, concrete and an ipe deck that will be lit with bollard lights on the east side of the bridge at 40’ intervals. Three finalists will be selected and asked to develop a general concept, each receiving an honorarium and travel reimbursement. Technical capabilities to design and install a lighting project are preferred, as well as experience with “green” lighting products, such as those with lower energy consumption and longer lifespan. The budget is $140,000, and it is open to US artists. Entry fee.
