This opportunity is open to artists working or living along the west coast of the United States in California, Oregon, and Washington. Applicants must be able to demonstrate that they have all necessary permits to work in the United States at the time of submittal of qualifications. Capitola’s Tree Stump Art Project is located at the lower public parking lot (Appendix 2) on Monterey Ave. which is used most by the general population visiting the beach and Capitola Village. This tree stump is estimated to be over 100 years old and arrived at its location from as a result of a mudslide from heavy rains in 2019. The stump is in a way a landmark for the town and a small bit of Capitola’s history. During the rains of 2019, the original tree slid down the hill above the parking lot and landed on its side. From there, much of the tree was cut and removed leaving only the stump now still lying on its side atop the parking lot asphalt. It is approximately 7 feet in diameter and 4 feet deep (Appendix 1 – Photos). The art project should incorporate proper preservation of the stump and include any measures necessary to maintain its integrity. For this project, the artist can modify the tree stump to improve its appearance, including but not limited to augmenting, carving, etching, whittling, chiseling & shaping. Artists should ensure that their art meets all ADA requirements as well as local building codes (see attached relevant codes). Pedestrian friendly aspects such as convenient hand holds, pinch points, snag points and vandalism concerns should be considered. Materials used should be weather resistant. Capitola Village is located along a wide beach with a breathtaking view of the Monterey Bay and is home to numerous craft galleries, boutiques and restaurants. It is here where many events have taken place such as the Capitola Beach Festival, Art and Wine Festival, Twilight Concerts, Art shows, and the Begonia Festival. In addition to these events, Capitola beach is a popular destination spot for tourists. This tree stump will be visible to many thousands of people annually entering the village. Bonds required.
