4Culture seeks to commission an artist, designer or creative team to create a three dimensional, sculptural object for their annual Golden Rain Globe Award for Heritage Tourism.
Deadline February 10, 2010
Each year, 4Culture honors the stewards of a local historic site or heritage attraction that meets high standards in the field of Heritage Tourism at the annual AKCHO awards. King County’s distinctive historic places are an important draw to the area, enticing tourists to explore Seattle neighborhoods and distant corners of the county. The Golden Rain Globe award recognizes the contribution made by the most authentic, engaging, and visited of these sites.
In past years, 4Culture has presented awardees with a universal symbolism of tourism – a large, ready-made plastic snow/rain globe featuring famous local attractions like the Space Needle and Mt. Rainier. This year, for the first time, we seek to take the award to another level by commissioning an artist-designed “globe” that is site-specific to the 2010 Golden Rain Globe awardee.
The 2010 Golden Rain Globe awardee’s name will be revealed confidentially to the selected artist, designer or creative team immediately following the selection process in February. The person or team selected for this opportunity will then be asked to create the sculptural award, which is specific to the 2010 awardee. Help us celebrate local achievements within the heritage community, and be the first to find out the 2010 recipient by applying today!
