Brentwood’s miXt Food Hall plans to create a new public art display facing Route 1 and is calling for artists’ submissions.

Located at 3809 Rhode Island Ave. next to the Studio 3807 apartment building, the food hall is currently looking for an artist to design, create and install an artwork on the patio facing Rhode Island Avenue.

According to a recent call for submissions put out by the food hall, the artwork can be affixed to the building or railing or mounted in a plant bed. The piece must also be washable and able to withstand the local climate.

The artist who is chosen will receive a $2,000 honorarium and up to $500 worth of supplies.

The deadline for submission is Sept. 15, with the goal of installing the artwork in November. Artists who are considering submitting should include a rough sketch with a descriptive narrative and examples of previous work.

Submissions are limited to three per artist. Any questions and submissions should be sent to Sandy Patterson at spatterson@mixtfoodhall.com.
