As a sculptor, painter, or artist interested in public art commissions, how do I become eligible for a commission?
As a visual artist interested in public art commissions, you should call or write the Arts Council and request an application form for the Public Art Slide Registry. The form must be completed by the artist and submitted along with up to 20 current slides of the artist’s work to the Arts Council for inclusion in the Slide Registry. Often a special Call to Artists is sent to every artist in the Slide Registry and on the mailing list to apprise artists of unique and qualified commissions. Also, outside curators and educators often review work in the Slide Registry to identify work of unknown artists. There is not a charge to join the Registry. Artists should periodically update their slides and credentials in the Registry.
