Boise City Hall Plaza Public Art Fountain Proposals
Are On View for Public Comment

Boise- In 2011 Boise City and Capital City Development Corporation invited artists living in the United States to apply for the opportunity to design, fabricate and install a water feature/public artwork for the plaza in front of Boise City Hall at 150 N. Capitol Boulevard. The plaza will be undergoing a complete renovation in the next year due to structural issues. Forty artists applied. A selection panel chose three finalists who have a history of working with water as an integrated element. The finalists selected are Matthew Geller of New York City, Buster Simpson of Seattle, and Re:site + SWA Group of Houston. Each has created a detailed, site-specific proposal.

The public is invited to comment on the three proposals by going to the Arts & History blog at /blog/ and commenting on City Hall Plaza Proposals. Public comments will be collected from May 22^th - June 1^st.  All public comments will be compiled and shared with decision makers.
