Found this information about an artist competition:
Art in Motion, in association with Aylesford Place Neighborhood Association, the University of Kentucky and LexTran, is offering a $2000 design prize/commission for design of a unique transit shelter to serve LexTran riders and University of Kentucky students. The shelter will serve both as bus stop with seating and shelter for riders and as public art that incorporates living plants.
The shelter should provide visual stimulation that draws the eye away from the surrounding electric utility lines and poles.
Professional architects, engineers, landscape designers, sculptors and artists are eligible. Students under the supervision of relevant professionals are also eligible.
A cash prize of $2,000 will be awarded for the winning design. The prize will be awarded to the selected winner upon delivery of detailed construction drawings of the winning design and completion of shelter fabrication. The selected winner shall be responsible for reasonable communication with chosen fabricator needed to ensure correct interpretation of design drawings and successful fabrication of design.
The total budget for materials and construction of structure and planting is $17,500
But I was thinking: On one hand I like any idea that brings seating for riders. But on the other hand, I don't know if I want to have people coming by snapping pics of the bus stop and me on it LOL. Great idea though...way to go Art In Motion!!!
