Revised 1/20/2012
Artists from in and around the Southwestern Pennsylvania Region are invited to apply for the “River Towns Public Art
Project” in Point Marion. Artists are asked to create a piece of art which connects the industrial heritage of the glass
industry in Point Marion with the conservation and natural beauty of the Cheat and Monongehela Rivers.
The Sprout Fund Award of $2500 will be leveraged with in-kind service and donations from the local community.
Project management is by the Pennsylvania Environmental Council and the Student Conservation Association through
River Towns, a two-year program that seeks to attract visitors and spur economic growth by focusing on rivers as
important resources to be sustained and protected.
The art piece will be installed on an exterior wall of the Sadler Building on Penn Street. It will be highly visible to both
pedestrian and vehicular traffic as people pass through the town’s main business district. The Request for
Qualifications deadline is December 8. The completion date is the end of June 2012.
A civic committee will evaluate all submissions. The committee will select 3 to 4 applicants who will be asked to
develop their design submissions further and make formal presentations. The presentations will be exhibited during a
public reception in Point Marion in February, after which the winning artist will be chosen.
Committee members are Carl Able, Ella Bellings, Vickie Evans, Beth Reseter, Art Strimel, and Katherine Wyda.
Copies of the Request for Qualifications/Request for Proposals are available at the Point Marion Public Library, at the
Point Marion Borough Office, and from Beth Reseter, 304-379-2569 or bethreseter@yahoo.com Contact Shelley
Marini at River Town Programs for more information: 724-986-3640, 724-592-6065, or remarini_2000@yahoo.com
