Program context & project planning
How the program works
Lake Nona seeks a permanent park landmark
Orlando’s official call seeks a monumental sculpture for a new 14.2-acre park on Luminary Boulevard. The city still lists October 18, 2026 as the submission deadline. The desired work should respond to the park and contemporary neighborhood setting; this is a site-specific commission, not an existing-work purchase.
Does the proposed concept respond to this park’s architecture and users?
Budget the whole delivery scope
The issuer-linked call allocates $130,000 across artist fees, engineering, fabrication, transport, installation and related costs. Orlando separately provides a coordinated concrete pedestal and uplighting. Installation is anticipated in summer or fall 2027; the artist must coordinate with park construction.
Where does the artist’s scope meet the city’s foundation and lighting work?
Outdoor care is part of selection
The Lake Nona call requires durable materials suited to humidity, sun, rain and hurricane winds, with a maintenance narrative. It excludes climbable features and AI-generated concepts. These requirements should be resolved before fabrication pricing or submission.
