Project Intent The centerpiece is to be an artistic expression that welcomes and delights. It shall conform to the City’s Public Art Plan, which can be viewed at Johnson Parkway Art Plan. As written in the Art Plan, the City’s Public Art and Landscape (PAL) Committee developed the following art theme: “The SR305/Johnson Parkway Roundabout Project welcomes residents and visitors to the City of Poulsbo. The chosen artwork and landscape elements will reflect Poulsbo’s eclectic character and community charm, its spectacular location with views of Liberty Bay and the Olympic Mountains, and honor Poulsbo’s Nordic roots and maritime heritage. As an important gateway, the landscaping and artwork chosen for the SR305/Johnson Parkway Roundabout Project reveals Poulsbo’s spirit, as a growing city that at its heart, is still the small fishing village on the bay.” To learn more about the City of Poulsbo, please view our Comprehensive Plan at: https://cityofpoulsbo.com/comprehensive-plan-2/ Award Budget The selected artist will have a budget of $75,000 - $100,000 to work with, dependent on the scale and scope of the roundabout centerpiece. The anticipated award ceiling is not meant to hinder the creativity of the artist and may be increased at the discretion of the City for an artwork deemed worthy.
