Subject: Call for Artists - University Circle Rapid Transit Station - Greater Cleveland RTA

The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) is soliciting public artists for submission of public art for the University Circle Rapid Transit Station. The station is one of the top four major transit hubs within the GCRTA public transit network. It serves 6-8 busy bus routes, is close to the HealthLine Bus Rapid Transit service, and is a major station on the RTA's Red Line running from East Cleveland to Cleveland Hopkins Airport. Given this amount of activity, the station is composed of several different elements all designed with a common architectural theme. The station is meant to be an iconic gateway to the Region, the City of Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, and into University Circle. Its proximity to historic Rockefeller and Ambler Park, Case Western Reserve University and a major urban arterial carrying 30,000 cars per day, combine to create a unique setting for this station.
