APPLICATION DEADLINE: Monday September 23, 2024 by 11 AM PST
Scope of Project:
Clark County Parks and Recreation Department’s Public Arts Office is seeking a service of a skilled historian consultant to propose to conduct a thematical survey of resources relating to women of historical significance in Clark County, Nevada. This project is open only to historians over the age of 18, who are not part-time or full-time Clark County employees or currently under contract for any Clark County Public Arts project larger than $50,000.
Women have played an essential role in the development of our Southern Nevada community and Clark County. Every March for Women’s History Month Clark County honor these women with awards, presentations, programs and art installations. Currently, artist, politicians and public have very few online resources to gather information about these women and the resources that are available have a heavy focus on the State of Nevada rather than Clark County specifically.
Women who should be included in the survey should include elected officials, organizations, and 1st women of significant roles in private and public sectors within the County. Once information is compiled the consultant should be prepared to collaborate with a graphic designer on the production of a public webpage and exhibit.
Work to be completed includes;
Research themes related to Clark County Woman and their accomplishments and identify associated resources. Research should be organized into thematic groups.
Compile, write descriptions and provide images to create a webpage or series of webpages that celebrates Clark County woman and their accomplishments including organizing a well thought out and consistent flow. Secure all approvals for use of images and information.
Collaborate with Clark County staff on exhibit layout and theme. Compile, write descriptions and provide images to create a historical exhibit at the Clark County Government Center entitled Empowered: Woman of Clark County March 17-May 1, 2025. Installation on March 14, 2025. Secure all approvals for use of images and information.
