Description of Project Opportunity: Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island provides compassionate, professional, state-of-the-art physical, emotional and spiritual care for all people facing life-threatening illness at any stage of life and in any setting they choose.
The Art Selection Committee is seeking artists working in a variety of mediums and genres, two dimensional (no sculpture or wall reliefs at this time) to be included in an installation on the first floor designated, "The Gallery" of the new Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island (HHCRI) facility located at 1085 North Main Street, Providence, Rhode Island.
The space measures approx. 35 feet wide x 6 feet high and includes a hanging system and gallery lighting. The Gallery is an area of high foot traffic and viewed by everyone who visits HHCRI. Artwork will be installed by the staff of HHCRI and a representative of Public Art Works. All artwork must be ready to hang with wire and hardware. Suggestions regarding installation of work by exhibiting artists will be taken into consideration.

Minimum Measurements: 18 inches height x 18 inches width / Maximum Measurements: 72 inches height (6 feet) x 360 inches width (35 feet) |

Insurance: The utmost care in the handling of all artwork will be taken.

Artists will also be asked to sign an insurance waiver upon delivery. |

Pricing and Commission: No commission is taken by either HHCRI or PAW. Artists may leave a price list with the receptionist. Labels identifying the work will be placed alongside each piece. In the event of an inquiry, HHCRI will contact PAW with the name and phone number of the interested party. PAW will then contact the artist with information. |
