CALL TO ARTISTS
Pre-Qualified Artist Pool 2013-2014
Deadline October 31, 2012 at 5:00 pm

The City of El Paso Museums and Cultural Affairs Department (MCAD), Public Art Program seeks to establish a new pre-qualified pool of artists and artist teams for consideration in upcoming public art projects. Upon selection, the pre-qualified list of artists will remain in effect for two years. Funding for projects is provided by two percent (2%) of the Capital Improvement Program. Artists selected for the Artist Pool will always be notified prior to being placed into consideration for specific projects.

Public art project budgets can range from $20,000.00 to $500,000.00. These budgets are inclusive of design, artist fees, fabrication, installation, insurance provisions, and all other costs associated with the public artwork. Artists working in all media are encouraged to apply.

Any professional artist or artist team is eligible to apply. If artists are applying as a team, the team should be declared in the letter of interest, specifying a team leader to receive notifications. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older. Current City of El Paso employees and Public Art Committee members may not apply.
