Honolulu Rail Project - Artists Sought To Create Hawaiian-Themed Work

The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation has officially started their search for artists to create Hawaiian-themed artwork to help decorate the 21 rail stations of the Honolulu Rail Project.  According to officials, HART has set aside a total of $5 million to obtain 23 to 25 works of art.  The budget for each piece will range from $125,000 to $450,000 based upon what the piece entails, the size, the time spent to create the piece, and the complexity of the work.  Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell stated, "For me, building rail better includes making sure we have great art in our stations."

The search is open to artists from around the world.  If you, or someone you know is interested in this project, please go to www.callforentry.org or send an email to transitmailbox@honolulu.gov  The deadline to apply is 7:59 PM on Thursday, June 20, 2013
