The City of Houston’s New Montrose Library Seeks Qualifications from Artists Nationwide for Public Art

0

 

 

The Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs (MOCA) in partnership with the Houston Public Library System is seeking submissions from artists and artist teams to design, fabricate, and install a permanent work of public art for the new Montrose Library. The call is open to all artists and artist-teams living or working in the United States who are over 18 years of age.

“Service to the community is the primary focus of my administration, and every day we push to find new ways to make a difference throughout Houston. Integrating a new library location into a mixed-used development is a big step forward in meeting communities where they are,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “This artwork will live in the new Montrose Library to showcase the vibrant character and history of the area and to highlight and celebrate the rich diversity of our Houston neighborhoods.”

Housed in the heart of Montrose within the new Montrose Collective development located at 1001 California Street, the Montrose Library will feature reading areas, technology access, a children’s area, a teen area, and meeting spaces. This opportunity seeks an interior work of art that will tell the story and history of Montrose by engaging with the library collections, services, staff, and community.

A historically LGBTQIA+ community, Montrose is a dynamic and vibrant neighborhood. This opportunity is fitting for artists whose body of work celebrates the neighborhood’s unique history. Artworks should express themes of literacy, courage, soul, and collaboration. Surface application with relief/sculptural elements, light-based media, non-traditional installations and murals/2D work will all be considered.

Houston Arts Alliance (HAA), in collaboration with MOCA, will manage the artist selection process for this investment in public art, which has a reserved budget of $85,000. For the first time ever, HAA is offering support for artist applicants speaking Spanish.

Interested artists and artists teams should submit their qualifications and artwork samples to HAA, here, by Monday, January 9, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. Para asistencia en Español, haga clic aquí.

HOUSTON – La Oficina de Asuntos Culturales de la Alcaldía de Houston (MOCA), en colaboración con el Sistema de Bibliotecas Públicas de Houston, solicita propuestas de artistas y agrupaciones de artistas para diseñar, fabricar e instalar una obra permanente de arte público para la nueva Biblioteca Montrose.

Ubicada en el corazón de Montrose dentro del nuevo complejo Montrose Collective situado en 1001 California Street, la Biblioteca Montrose contará con áreas de lectura, acceso a tecnología, un espacio para niños, una zona para adolescentes y lugares para reuniones. Esta iniciativa requiere una obra de arte interior que cuente el entramado y la historia de Montrose a través de las colecciones de la biblioteca, sus servicios, su personal y su comunidad.

Modelo de la nueva Biblioteca Montrose, que se instalará en 1001 California Street, Houston, Texas 77006
Montrose, una comunidad históricamente LGBTQIA +, es un vecindario dinámico y vibrante. Esta oportunidad es apropiada para aquellos artistas cuya obra celebre la excepcional historia del vecindario. Las obras de arte deben manifestar temas de alfabetización, coraje, sentimientos y colaboración. Se considerarán la aplicación en superficies con elementos en relieve o escultóricos, medios basados en la luz, instalaciones no tradicionales y murales o trabajos en 2D.

Houston Arts Alliance (HAA), en colaboración con la MOCA, gestionará el proceso de selección de artistas para esta inversión en arte público, que tiene un presupuesto reservado de $85,000. Por primera vez, HAA ofrece apoyo a artistas postulantes de habla hispana.

Survivor – Eye Of The Tiger

0
Rising up, back on the streetDid my time, took my chancesWent the distance, now I’m back on my feetJust a man and his will to survive
So many times it happens too fastYou change your passion for gloryDon’t lose your grip on the dreams of the pastYou must fight just to keep them alive
It’s the eye of the tigerIt’s the thrill of the fightRising up to the challenge of our rivalAnd the last known survivorStalks his prey in the nightAnd he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heatHanging tough, staying hungryThey stack the odds ’til we take to the streetFor the kill with the skill to survive
It’s the eye of the tigerIt’s the thrill of the fightRising up to the challenge of our rivalAnd the last known survivorStalks his prey in the nightAnd he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Rising up straight to the topHad the guts, got the gloryWent the distance, now I’m not going to stopJust a man and his will to survive
It’s the eye of the tigerIt’s the thrill of the fightRising up to the challenge of our rivalAnd the last known survivorStalks his prey in the nightAnd he’s watching us all with the eye of the tigerThe eye of the tigerThe eye of the tigerThe eye of the tigerThe eye of the tiger

BARC, BISSELL Pet Launch “Empty the Shelters – Holiday Hope” Campaign December 1-11

0

BARC, the City of Houston’s Animal Shelter and Adoption Center, and BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending pet homelessness, are bringing hope to the nation’s shelter pets this holiday season with the “Empty the Shelters – Holiday Hope” adoption event Dec. 1 – 11, 2022.

Thanks to BISSELL Pet Foundation’s sponsorship, BARC will be waiving adoption fees for all pets at our adoption center, located at 3300 Carr St. This event will be hosted in more than 275 shelters in 43 states, including BARC. All interested adopters can find more details about the current event online at www.HoustonBARC.com.

“BISSELL Pet Foundation is in constant communication with our shelter partners across the country and they are struggling with unprecedented increases in owner surrenders and longer stays for pets,” said Cathy Bissell, Founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation. “With so many great pets waiting in shelters, our ‘Empty the Shelters – Holiday Hope’ event is the perfect opportunity to save a life through adoption and create space to give another homeless pet a chance. If you can’t adopt, please consider fostering.”

To find your newest, furry family member, visit BARC’s Adoption Center at 3300 Carr St. from 12 – 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Interested adopters can also visit http://www.houstontx.gov/barc/adopt_a_pet.html to see our adoptable pets online.

“We are thankful to once again work with the Bissell Pet Foundation to try to get as many animals as possible adopted into their forever homes. Everyday our enforcement officers work to get stray animals out of our neighborhoods and into the safety of a shelter, but campaigns like these are crucial to help find homes for our adoptable animals,” said Greg Damianoff, Director of BARC Animal Shelter & Adoptions. “We are grateful for this partnership that allows us to completely waive adoption prices for interested Houston adopters during our annual Home for the Holidays campaign.”

BISSELL Pet Foundation’s “Empty the Shelters” event is the largest funded adoption event in the country. This lifesaving event began in 2016 with a goal of encouraging more families to choose adoption. Nearly 160,000 pets have found loving homes since its inception. “Empty the Shelters” is BISSELL Pet Foundation’s largest program, partnering with 560 animal welfare organizations in 47 states and Canada to reduce adoption fees.

Pet adoption is a lifetime commitment, and not just for the holidays. BISSELL Pet Foundation and BARC urge families to do their research about the pet they are interested in adopting, as well as adoption requirements. For more information on adopting or donating to “Empty the Shelters” or BARC, visit www.bissellpetfoundation.org/empty-the-shelters and https://www.houstontx.gov/barc/get_involved.html.
