The artwork must reflect the mission of the Austin Fire Department and Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services “to create safer communities through prevention, preparedness, and effective emergency response.” The artists selected for these commissions will embed with the crews of the stations to better understand the work of Austin’s first responders and reflect their experiences with the men and women of AFD/EMS in their artwork. AIPP seeks qualifications for professional visual artists, or artist teams, who live and work in the Austin metropolitan area, defined as Travis, Williamson, Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Burnet, and Blanco counties. Six artists will be selected to embed with the AFD and EMS station crews and engage in outreach to the surrounding community for inspiration in creating their artworks. Each artist will be paired with a station or stations to outline their time. AIPP will work with the six selected artists as an artist cohort to collaboratively support each other and collectively adhere to best practices in community engagement and public art. Artists will be expected to form a working relationship with each other as well as the AFD/EMS staff and AIPP staff.

List of Nominated Artists for the Architecturally-Integrated AIPP Public Art Opportunity for the Austin Convention Center Redevelopment First Name Last Name aka Why Nominated? Alejandra Almuelle Incredible craftsmanship, experience and individual in our community.

His work is well-recognized and well-loved here in Austin. Show Goat Mural Works Federico Archuleta El Federico Federico is the stencil king of Austin. Since the late 90s his art has defined Austin's urban landscape, from Tower Records and Hole in the Wall, to across town on the old green grocer, and even graces museum walls on Mexic-Arte. His art is displayed in the Austin Bergstrom airport (without his permission), and after all he has given the city in color and life, he deserves back this commission to be fairly compensated for making his mark permanently in the city which he loves and calls home. https://www.instagram.com/el_f ederico/?hl=en Adrian Armstrong taylor barnes Adrian's work is strong - he doesn't shy away from the emotions he so ably conveys. His imagery is beautifully rendered and forthright in its message. From Armstrong's website: "he is interested in the complex ways race informs how we assign value to and interact in the spaces we occupy. Armstrong draws heavily on his identity politics and lived experiences to depict the narratives of Black life. Nested in intimate and poignant settings, his figures often embody a range of psychological states, including joy, happiness, introspection, and dysphoria. Armstrong’s works seek to inspire new ways of looking at the familiar." https://adrianarmstrongart.com/ work Barne's is a multimedia artists whose work takes on subjects of spirituality and oral histories. She is a ceramic and fiber artist who has experience in large sculptural work and has the potential to translate into larger scales.
