The Sai Kung District Council Public Art Project 2009 is now inviting site-specific public artwork proposals for public art installations at public spaces in Sai Kung District.

Proposals and works should be visually integrated into the environment and landscape, and reflect and echo the sites' functional and cultural features through artistic interpretation.

The sites are Po Tsui Park, Po Hong Park in Tsueng Kwan O, and Man Yee Playground. The project is open to all Hong Kong residents aged 18 or above who have a valid Hong Kong Identity Card.

The adjudication panel will assess and select the proposals based on creativity, quality and skill of previous works of participants; value and quality of the proposal aesthetically; and in relation to the public at the first stage.

The criteria at stage two are appropriateness; artistic excellence and high standard of work; innovation and uniqueness; meaningful community engagement; appropriateness of proposed work in relation to the concept and suitability for long-term open air exposure.

The budget ceiling for each location is $400,000, which covers all the direct and indirect costs to be incurred by the commissioned participants in the course of the implementation of the commissioned works. 

Interested parties should submit their preliminary proposals by mail or in person to Art Promotion Office by 6pm on July 6.
