RFQ Closed - Linden and Pine Park | Columns, Mosaic Inlays & Playground Sculpture

Opportunity Closed

The City of South San Francisco invites qualified artists or artist teams to submit their qualifications for the design and creation of a cohesive suite of site-specific mosaic artworks at the new Linden and Pine Park. The commission will include three integrated mosaic components: four sculptural mosaic columns, a pavement mosaic inlay, and a mosaic-clad playground sculpture. One artist or artist team will be selected to ensure the artworks are conceptually and aesthetically unified.

This project is envisioned to enhance the park’s visual identity, serve as a backdrop for performances and community gatherings, and foster a strong sense of place through a site-responsive mosaic design.
