Port Discovery is developing a brand-new exhibit set to open to the public in Fall 2025 and we are inviting artists to submit proposals to have their art installed as part of this project!
SKIES will be a fully immersive, low sensory, calming exhibit themed on the daily sky rotation between the sunrise and sunset and the curiosity invoked by our planet’s ever-shifting cloudscape. The design of this quiet space for respite will incorporate the colorful movement of clouds and the cycles of the sun and moon. The exhibit spaces will include reading nooks, a blanket fort building activity, a soft “sunrise” resting zone, and an Aurora Borealis light board.
We are seeking RFPs for the creation of two unique artistic elements:
- Blissful Sunrise Mural
- Floral Fabric Wall Sculpture
Applicants may submit an RFP for both projects or for one. Please download full RFP for details, specifications for each project, and follow the directions on assembling your proposal packet. Deadline to apply is March 31, 2025.
All artists are encouraged to attend one of the two virtual information sessions that will be hosted by the museum. The session will include a visual walk-through of the SKIES exhibit to review the proposed artwork locations and the new exhibit’s colorways and design.
