Palm Beach County's Art in Public Places program (PBC AiPP) seeks to commission an Artist or Artist team (Artist) to design, permit, fabricate and install art that helps promote Palm Beach County Mosquito Control Division’s efforts to enhance health and quality of life of residents and visitors through the reduction of mosquito populations.
A new +/-6.17 acre Mosquito Control Division (MCD) Compound is being built to replace the Mosquito Control Facility that has approached the end of its useful life. The Compound supports MCD operations, but is not regularly visited by the public. Therefore, the artwork is to be sited for the public to experience it as they pass by along Lantana Road. The area designated for public art is a 40 foot wide by 20 foot deep opening in the required right-of-way landscape buffer fronting Lantana Road, outlined below in green. Selected artwork shall not exceed but shall be in scale with the designated area’s dimensions in order to remain consistent and coordinated with site design. If the selected artwork does not include lighting, the County will install up to four (4) ground-mounted light fixtures, in coordination with the selected Artist. The County will also provide a concrete plaza around artwork, with design input from artist, subject to capital budget availability.
