Call for Artists: The City of Denver's Public Art Program

The City of Denver's Public Art Program, now in its 30th year, seeks to commission an artist or team of artists to create multiple artworks for the 39th Avenue Greenway and Open Channel Public Art Project. The new 12-acre recreational greenway between Franklin and Steele streets will serve as a safe community gathering space as well as reduce flood risks to nearby homes and businesses. The goal of the artwork is to celebrate the Clayton and Cole neighborhoods and help instill a sense of continuity throughout the Greenway by providing a progression or a narrative to unify the public spaces. The specific locations for proposed artworks are to be determined once a short list of semifinalists is selected. This commission is open internationally to artists or artist teams. The budget is approximately $400,000 USD. Interested? The application deadline is Monday, Nov. 12 at 11:59 p.m. MST. Submit an application here.
