Call for Artists: Boston Memorial to Martin Luther King Jr. Deadline February 28

via Boston.gov – “Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture, in collaboration with the Boston Art Commission and MLK Boston, today released a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for an artist to create a memorial dedicated to Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King in Boston.

‘A memorial honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King will stand as a symbol of our commitment to fulfilling Dr. King’s dream each and every day,’ said Mayor Walsh. ‘From their education in Boston, to Dr. King’s time preaching at Twelfth Baptist Church in Roxbury, to his march to the Boston Common, the Kings’ footprints left a remarkable impression on the City of Boston and its people. This memorial will be a great way to recognize their influence on the City and to emphasize our continued effort to make Boston a place where all people have equal opportunities.’

The deadline to respond to the RFQ is Wednesday, February 28, 2018 by 12:00 am EST.”
