City of San Jose Public Art - Request for Qualifications - ART + TECHNOLOGY ARTIST POOL
This is to announce the San Jose Public Art Program?s Request for Qualifications to establish an Artist Pool for Art + Technology. The focus of initial artwork commission will be the San Jose International Airport?s program of short-term changing Art + Technology projects and two permanent sculptures for the
