ARTS & SCIENCE COUNCIL
LATTA PLACE Public Art Project
Deadline to Apply: January 13, 2025, by 11:59 p.m. EDT
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Arts & Science Council is accepting qualifications from U.S. based artists/artist teams for a public art
opportunity for the Mecklenburg County Latta Place, Huntersville, NC 28078. This RFQ represents an
opportunity for an artist, or team of artists, to create a artwork to honor the experiences of enslaved
people and their families.
The selected artist will have the opportunity to create an integrated artwork, freestanding sculpture, or
series of sculptures that can provide visitors with an opportunity to pause and reflect on the powerful,
emotional connections and perspectives reflective of the enslaved people’s experience. This highly visible
artwork will potentially be sited in a gathering space near the new visitor’s center. The selected artist
should be sensitive to the complex dynamics of this tribute that will also serve as inspiration for equality
and social justice for future generations. The artwork should align with the mission and vision of Latta Place
and be appropriate for all ages.
