Edited release

The Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee and the South District Neighborhood Association are looking for an emerging artist to design, fabricate, and install a new bus stop bench along Highway 6 East, just east of Heinz Road.

The chosen artist will lead the project with assistance from a Project Mentor, and will also include neighborhood feedback into the bench design. The groups hope to have the bench installed by this fall.

Applicants need to be at least 18, and preference will be given to artists living in the South District neighborhood, Iowa City artists, or those who create art or exhibit their art in Iowa City.
