Fire Station 187
Project Summary: Fire Station 187
city of Goodyear (“City”) Arts & Culture Commission and Goodyear Fire Department are seeking to commission an artist or artist team to design, fabricate, and install exterior public art at the newly constructed permanent building for Goodyear Fire The Station 187, located at 42960 S. 99th Avenue, Maricopa, AZ 85139. The design will be thoughtfully planned through a stakeholder and public engagement process and will visually represent Goodyear Firefighters and the community they serve.
Project Background:
The Goodyear Fire Department has a rich history tied closely to the city's rapid growth and development. Originally established as a volunteer force in the mid-20th century, the department began as a small team focused on safeguarding Goodyear's rural community and agricultural assets. Over time, as Goodyear transitioned from a farming town to a rapidly growing suburb in the Phoenix metropolitan area, the fire department expanded its services.
In the early 2000s, with Goodyear’s population booming, the department became a fully professional force, growing its resources, personnel, and facilities. The Goodyear Fire Department now operates eight fire stations across the city, providing fire suppression, emergency medical services, and community education.
Fire Station 187 opened in November 2007, shortly after Mobile was annexed into the city of Goodyear. The station is home to an engine, a rescue, and a brush truck, and plays a crucial role in protecting both residents in the Sonoran Valley area. A permanent station is currently being constructed to accommodate the Goodyear Firefighters stationed in Mobile.
Juneteenth Family Day Mural Experience
The City of Goodyear is seeking artists to participate in a live mural experience as part of the Juneteenth Family Day celebration. Selected artists will design and paint temporary murals that reflect the spirit of Juneteenth, family, and community. This interactive art experience will take place during the event, inviting the public to engage with artists and celebrate culture, creativity, and connection.
Library Fine Art Show: Everyday Wonders
Sometimes the most extraordinary beauty hides in the most ordinary places—a morning cup of coffee, a favorite chair, or the light spilling through a window. Everyday Wonders invites you to look closer at the little things in daily life that often go unnoticed, yet hold their own kind of magic.
Take the simple and make it shine—share your Everyday Wonders!
Suspended Art: Goodyear Light Pole Banners
The city of Goodyear is seeking West Valley artists interested in designing and displaying their artwork on publicly owned light pole banners along roadways throughout the City. Goodyear displays banners on identified streetlights around the city.
The banners will be graphically clear, colorful, innovative, and place-specific. The project calls for an artist that is excited about engaging with others and creating designs that reflect and celebrate the area.
Artwork will be printed on 30.5in wide x 72in tall double sided 22oz. block-out vinyl. Artwork will be displayed seasonally.
