CALLS TO ARTISTS

Recognizing the value that public art brings to a community in creating civic pride stimulated in both the urban core and neighborhoods throughout the Duval area, the City of Jacksonville established an Art in Public Place Program by City Ordinance and tapped the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville to administer it. The Art in Public Places Committee, approved by the Mayor’s office, oversees the selection of the public art on behalf of the City. The public art is funded primarily with .75 % of eligible Capital Improvement Project budgets for city facilities that covers the artist budget, infrastructure costs, administration and future maintenance. Examples of other sources of funding include private partnerships, Downtown Investment Authority, City Council Member discretionary funds  

​The Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville and its Art in Public Places is announcing Calls to Artists for Jacksonville’s neighborhoods. We seek local, regional and national artists that can add their impact on our cultural community through their work. The Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) is open to all US artists and artist teams. Local artists are encouraged to apply. Applications are submitted through CaFÉ.
