BACKGROUND One of the goals of the North Park Business District is to support Arts and Culture. North Park has become a vital home to galleries and businesses, as well as entertainment and performance venues. The restoration of the North Park Theater (now called the Stephen and Mary Birch Theater), home to the San Diego Lyric Opera, included the addition of the five-story, 388-space North Park Parking Garage. As part of the North Park Redevelopment Project Area, the North Park Parking Garage project was presented to the community through three public review and input meetings in 2003. Several design options were presented for community approval and the current design, which includes fourteen panels to display two-dimensional works of art, was selected ELIGIBILITY SCOPE The artist(s) selected to participate in the North Park Parking Garage
Art Project will retain the ownership rights, intellectual property rights
and copyrights to their artwork. Artists must submit only artwork for which
they own the copyright. Submitting artwork on the behalf of others is not
permitted; submitting the work of others as one’s own is also not permitted
as it is copyright infringement. When submitting artwork, artists should ensure that the license granted to the Redevelopment Agency and North Park Main Street does not conflict with other licenses for the artwork. If a conflict is found at a later date, the artwork will be withdrawn from the exhibition. The artist(s) must also agree to indemnify the Redevelopment Agency and North Park Main Street against any damages resulting from conflicting licenses. The artist(s) selected to participate in the North Park Parking Garage Art Project will have the opportunity to auction their original artwork at a special event coinciding with the unveiling of the North Park Parking Garage Art Project exhibition. The value of the artwork and the minimum bid price for each piece will be determined by the artist(s). Unsold artwork will be returned to the artist(s). SUBMISSIONS 1. A professional resume.
