Duluth has put out a call to artists for a $50,000 public art project intended to honor the city's living firefighters, police officers and veterans.
The Living Honorarium, the brainchild of Gwinnett County Commissioner Shirley Lasseter, is envisioned as a timeless monument on Main Street in the historic district.
The project, sponsored by the Duluth Fine Arts League, is open to artists living in the Southeast. The winner will receive a $50,000 commission, which includes the artist's fee and cost of materials.
The Living Honorarium, once dubbed the Living Memorial, was conceived in 2005 but foundered in late 2007 as Duluth faced a souring economy and plans for a new $13 million City Hall. It was resurrected in March, along with a scaled-down budget.
Application details can be found at www.artsduluth.org. Entries must be received by Sept. 15.
