GENERAL INFORMATION
The City of San Jose’s Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA) and Environmental Services Department (ESD) are seeking an artist to create an artwork for the new Environmental Innovation Center (EIC). As part of the City of San Jose's Green Vision implementation, the City is renovating a 4.2 acre site with an existing 46,000 square foot warehouse into a unique facility called the Environmental Innovation Center. The EIC will be a premier location for the development, demonstration, training, and display of Clean Tech innovations. The facility will be staffed to provide commercialization, incubation, and prototype manufacturing services to assist emerging clean technology companies.

PROJECT BUDGET: Design: $25,000; Estimated Fabrication: $110,000
