Artists may apply to exhibit at train station

The City of Lancaster Office of Public Art is seeking artists to showcase their artworks in two glass-enclosed display cases at the Lancaster Amtrak Train Station. Artists are asked to create site-specific art inspired by or cohesive with the "A Place for Every Piece: Lancaster's Living Quilt" design.

The Lancaster Amtrak Station, the second-busiest Amtrak station in Pennsylvania, features the display cases as part of its annual art exhibitions. This year, the Art at Amtrak program will also highlight designs by Libby Modern and Jill Good, who are creating window designs for the station's main terminal.

Artists are encouraged to submit proposals for installations in the glass cases that either draw inspiration from or align with Modern's and Good's work. Proposals should include drawings, sketches, or renderings, along with a written description. While new, site-specific works are preferred, artists may adapt previous artworks to fit the aforementioned theme.

This call is open to all professional artists and artist teams age 18 and older. Each selected artist or team will receive a cash honorarium to cover project expenses, including materials, fabrication, and installation.

Submissions are due by Monday, Jan. 20. For more details, visit http://www.cityoflancasterpa.gov/office-of-public-art.
