2025 Public Art RFP (Open Call)

FLUSHING AVENUE FENCE LINE

DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS IS DECEMBER 15, 2024

The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation seeks proposals for a new fence line public art installation from Creatives living in the borough of Brooklyn. BNYDC will make a single selection for artwork that extends across the fence line in front of Building 3 that may extend onto the fence in front of Building 92 or into the forecourt of Building 92. This fence line runs along the north side of Flushing Avenue between Clermont Avenue and Carlton Avenue. Most of the installation will cover the fence line in front of Building 3. The Building 92 forecourt portion can be either an extension of the Building 3 fence line work or a separate freestanding installation that visually and thematically carries the design over to that public space.

Proposals should respond to the theme of Our Brooklyn. Creatives should submit proposals that show how economic growth impacts social and cultural elements of a community while also celebrating the diversity of innovators and workers at the Yard and in Brooklyn. Emphasis should be placed on ways that communities come together through work, social, and cultural life. Artworks should celebrate cultural diversity and the richness that develops through communities coming together in dialogue and conversation.
