The Town of Ashland, Virginia seeks qualifications from artists/artist teams for a new large-scale public artwork to welcome residents and visitors to the entrance of our historic downtown. The site is highly visible as it serves as the primary entrance to downtown and is proximal to two major east coast roadways, Interstate 95 and US Route 1.
Ideal works of art would create an arch or archway effect to welcome visitors and provide passersby in vehicles safe viewing access. We are not seeking a typical gateway piece, but something creative and dynamic that reflects Ashland's welcoming, quaint, and quirky culture.
