The city’s Art in Public Places program is looking for a Central Texas artist to create a piece of art for the Dove Springs Recreation Center. The artists, ideally based in Williamson, Travis, Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Burnet and Blanco counties, will have a $44,000 budget to “create an iconic artwork that heightens awareness of the facility,” according to a press release. Art in Public Places issued a request for qualifications yesterday, and the submission deadline is 5 p.m. on Sept. 14. Artists can learn more about the project at an information meeting to be held Aug. 8 at the Cultural Arts Division offices, 201 E. 2nd St.
