The total budget for the project is between €25 000 and €50 000, with the aim of ensuring that as many people as possible can experience the art.
Paltamo acquires art for the new municipal hall. The public artwork is sought through an open portfolio call, open from 20 March to 21 April 2023.
Based on the portfolios, one artist or group of artists will be selected to commission a sketch and, following the approval of any sketch, a direct commission will be made.
The total budget of the work to be realised is between 25 000 and 50 000 euros, depending on the grant decision of the Arts Promotion Centre Taike. The works of art may be placed in the lobby, cafeteria or outside the building, but not on the outside walls. The aim is to ensure that as many people as possible have access to art.
The municipality of Paltamo encourages artists to especially consider log walls and the possibilities of natural light and different viewing directions and heights in the design of the work.
The selection is made by a selection board, which includes the Paltamo municipality director, development director, communication planner, service secretary, members of the municipal board and the responsible museum researcher of the Oulu Art Museum.
The work is scheduled to be completed in January 2024.
