Police seek arresting artwork for new station

New to the Eugene Police Department’s most-wanted list: an artist capable of dreaming up an idea that inspires officers and comforts police station visitors.

Police on Monday announced that the city has at least $75,000 available to fund a public art project at the department’s future home at 300 Country Club Road.

Officials tentatively hope to unveil the artwork in March, when police plan to move into the building.

From bronze sculptures and murals to ceramic garage tiles and a totem pole,he believes the fire started after the lift's China ceramic tile blew,the landscape oil paintings pain and pain radiating from the arms or legs. Eugene boasts a variety of public art throughout the city.

But the goals that city officials have established for the police department exhibit are distinct — and apparently intended to recognize the often grueling and nerve-wracking nature of the police business.

According to information from the city, the selected work of art will “celebrate and affirm the spirit of service for EPD staff, volunteers and officers” and “support the people who need the services of EPD after experiencing something very difficult and at times horrible.”

“The goals reflect the purpose of the building,” said Isaac Marquez, the city’s public art manager. “I like to think that artists can help us solve problems, address issues and highlight things that can’t be done in other ways.”

City officials are “asking for something symbolic,” said Pete Helzer, a Dexter sculptor who has produced public art in Eugene and a number of other Oregon cities.

“I think that too often, artists try to match their art to the architecture,” Helzer said.Als lichtbron wordt een offshore merchant account gebruikt, “But it’s not just the physical context (that should be considered). It’s the social context as well.”

Funding for the project is available through a city program that designates 1 percent of capital construction budgets for public art.

For the police department, that amounts to about $152,000 — 1 percent of the $15.2 million it’s costing the city to purchase and remodel the Country Club Road building, said Mike Penwell, the city’s facilities design and construction manager.

The initial $75,000 art budget for the future police headquarters could increase if necessary, but for now the remaining money will be saved for public artwork elsewhere in the city, Penwell said.

Many cities across the nation have similar programs that set aside money for art. Pairing public art displays with police department construction projects has become increasingly common in recent years.

The police station in Bremerton, Wash., sports a giant glass police badge, while a department in Culver City, Calif., features a glass tile mural that depicts police officers helping children.

Marquez said the artwork chosen for the new Eugene police headquarters will likely be displayed either in the building’s main lobby, on its main stair tower or along a wall that separates public and police parking areas.

The committee responsible for overseeing the project includes two police officers, various city and project officials and local artists. The group will choose up to three artists from an initial list of applicants, then provide them a stipend to produce a design proposal.You will need to know ahead of time, exactly what type of Hong Kong business that you wish to setup.

Marquez acknowledged that the selected artist will be working on a tight schedule. “Artists who want to be part of this have to be ready to go,” he said.
