Myers Recreation Center (5801 Kingsessing Ave), which is located in the Kingsessing neighborhood of Southwest Philadelphia. This public art commission is possible through the City's Percent for Art program and is part of a major Rebuild construction project that will include interior and exterior upgrades, a new addition to the recreation center building, and outdoor site improvements. This Percent for Art commission will provide an opportunity for an artist or a team of artists to create two complementary mosaic artworks. A prominent mosaic piece will be located on the exterior of the building’s new addition. A second piece will be placed at the center’s new interior entryway. See pages 3 and 4 for more details about the artworks requested for the site. All interested artists are invited to apply for this public art commission.

Local artists who live or work near the Francis J. Myers Recreation Center will also receive priority consideration. In addition, we encourage collaborative proposals that draw on a range of artistic practices, community connections, and lived experiences.
