2116 Nicollet Engagement Focus Group Application

We need your feedback as we select the public art, choose a name for the building, and finalize design elements! Focus group participants will be paid for every focus group session. The application is open to anyone who has a clear connection to Whittier or to this project.

We are particularly interested in focus group applicants with a lived experience with housing instability, applicants with public art experience, and applicants across a diverse range of backgrounds.

Public Art: Request for Qualifications

There is space on the 2116 Nicollet building for public art. The art would be on the walls and ceiling of the building's terrace, which would face out onto Nicollet Ave. The terrace will be on the second floor of the building, so an eye-catching design will be needed for visibility from street level.

Read the request for qualifications + submit!
