The Two Harbors Public Arts and Beautification Commission (Commission) has initiated a utility box wrap project to further increase the presence of public art and beautify its historic downtown. The artwork will be displayed in Thomas Owens Park, 3rd Avenue and 6th Street.
Thomas Owens Park, home of the Two Harbors Bandshell, sits on the edge of the downtown business district on Waterfront Drive (6th street). This space hosts local artists throughout the summer, including the Two Harbors City Band, Two Harbors Ukulele Group (THUG), Heritage Days entertainment, and local youth dance groups. The wrap will be placed on a utility box located within the park and will showcase the Two Harbors community and support for the arts.
Artist proposals will be solicited by the Commission. The Commission will review the artist submissions and identify their preferred artist. The City of Two Harbors will award the final contract, in consultation with the Commission. Chosen artist may be asked to submit design alterations for review by the Commission prior to final installation. The Commission is not required to select from the applications received if, in the Commission’s and/or the City’s judgement, the relevance, quality, or the qualifications of the artists are not appropriate.
