The City of Austin requests qualifications from professional visual artists, or artist teams, who live and work in Williamson, Travis, Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Burnet and Blanco counties. The total budget available for this project is $44,000. The call opened on July 18, 2017. Submission deadline is 5:00 pm on Thursday, September 14, 2017 and was extended to October 19, 2017. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Located in District 2 in south east Austin, Dove Springs Recreation Center offers Youth, Adult and Senior Programs as well as Sports Leagues and Special Events.
