Request for proposals from artists and/or artist teams interested in creating site-specific artwork in Morristown, NJ.
Background and Context
The Morristown Partnership is seeking proposals for a public art sculpture in honor of Michael Fabrizio, the former Executive Director of the Morristown Parking Authority (MPA) and the founding Executive Director of the Morristown Partnership (MP). Unfortunately, Michael recently passed away unexpectedly, but he was an integral part of the exciting growth in Morristown. To better acquaint you with him, we have a separate bio citing his
background and accomplishments.
It is the intent of the Morristown Partnership to select an artist and contract to design, produce and install in a yet-to-be-confirmed location in downtown Morristown.
