On behalf of the City of Capitola, the Capitola Art and Cultural Commission is seeking an artist or artist team to create a Sidewalk Railing Art Project. This is known as the Capitola's Sidewalk Railing Art Project.

SITE & PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Capitola’s Sidewalk Railing Art Project is located on one of the primary entry routes to Capitola Village.  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 take place such as the Begonia Festival, Annual Art and Wine Festival, Twilight Concerts and Art shows.  In addition to the events, Capitola Beach is a destination spot for tourists, the railing will be visible to many thousands of people.

The railing art project is needed to protect pedestrians from a steep embankment to the street. 

The railing is approximately 90 feet long and should be a minimum 36 inches high from the side walk to the top of the railing. The project should follow the natural slope of the existing sidewalk (see engineers drawing) The railing is on the street side of a 54-inch-wide sidewalk. Currently there is a galvanized safety railing installed along the middle 38-foot section of the project area, the railing art project will replace this existing safety railing. Artist should ensure their concept meets all ADA requirements as well as all local building codes (see attached relevant codes). The materials used should be weather resistant such as in stainless steel, bronze, copper, brass or galvanized steel or rusted steel, ie. Core 10.
