Project Overview
The Fort Myers Community Redevelopment Agency invites creative minds from across the globe—visionaries, innovators, creators and futurists—to propose design concepts for engaging, transformational art installations to be built along the banks of the Caloosahatchee River in downtown Fort Myers.
The goal of Innovation Walk is to marry innovation with art, transforming and populating a meandering, mile-long waterfront park pathway with enduring installations and experiences that intrigue curiosity and celebrate human innovation. In its call for creators, the CRA seeks talented innovators, designers and creators to develop meaningful, durable and engaging installations that provide pedestrian viewers with experiences stimulating critical contemplation, curiosity and hope.
The project requirements focus on the previous work of the artists, their concepts, visual representations, construction plans, budget and timeline considerations.
Proposals must be submitted electronically to innovationwalk@cityftmyers.com by noon May 18, 2024.
Commissions will be awarded in May 2024, and the project must be designed, produced and installed within eight months of the award. The goal for full completion of Phase I of project is January 2025.
