Is there a theme with this artwork or sculpture Project? - May 19 2021 at 10:19 AMCity of Surprise
While there is no specific theme being directed for this project, the artist should take into consideration that they will aid in the place-making of a downtown entertainment district which already contains a major attraction – Surprise Stadium, Spring Training home of the Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers. The artist is encouraged to think of walkable spaces, leisure attractions, outdoor dining, and other characteristics that define a typical entertainment district. The artist is encouraged to be innovative in their submission and bring forth artwork of a new and high caliber to the city; this goal for this piece is to be a statement work of art that will be synonymous with Surprise for years to come.

Are there height restrictions? Also do commercial semi tractor trailers travel through this road? I would like to design it so there are no problems with the traffic flow. Also if I’m selected will the road be closed for erection of the sign? - Jun 14 2021 at 8:04 AMCity of Surprise
Please keep in mind that the first phase of the selection and submittal is solely based on qualifications and does not take into account the proposed design. Conceptual Artistic Proposals will be requested from artists that are selected to move into the second phase. As far as your specific questions. Height restrictions for the roadway is set by City code and traffic standards, all types of vehicles can utilize the roadway, and the road cannot be closed for the installation.
