South Orange Downtown will commission a qualified artist or team of artists to design and install work that local residents can enjoy, will enhance the appearance of the business district and that attracts visitors. The goal of the South Orange Downtown Village Plaza Triangle Project is to revitalize this prominent space with a mural, sculpture, outdoor seating and lighting. The art installations will convey the theme of “light, energy and harmony” and reflect the vibrancy of the downtown district.

Mural RFP
SODT is seeking a mural artist(s) to create a site-specific original mural to be completed on the retaining wall at the Village Plaza triangle.

The selected mural should serve as a community celebration for years to come.
Sculpture RFP
SODT is seeking an artist(s) to create and install a sculpture at the Village Plaza triangle. The sculpture should be a visual presentation of the vibrancy of the district as it connects to light, energy and harmony, or an artistic wayfinding display that lets people know that they are in South Orange Downtown.
