The City of Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs is starting the process of selecting an artist to create the city’s first permanent outdoor artwork commemorating the life and legacy of the late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. “It’s well past time we memorialize our hero Barbara Jordan with inspiring public art, especially since the city’s art collection contains only one outdoor sculpture or monument honoring a woman,” Mayor Sylvester Turner said. The project has a total budget of up to $235,000. The deadline for submission of qualifications is Monday, Sept. 23, 11:59 p.m. CST.
