Opportunities for Artists

The City of Sarasota Public Art Program offers a range of opportunities for artists to contribute to the city’s vibrant visual landscape. These include Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Requests for Qualifications (RFQs), and other Calls for Artists tied to City-led and private development projects. When available, current opportunities will be listed below.

Artists who are part of the City’s pre-qualified Artists Roster are prioritized for certain commissions and may also be connected with private developers fulfilling the public art requirement outlined in the City’s Zoning Code. Developers seeking to integrate public art into their projects are encouraged to select from the roster when identifying potential artist partners.

We welcome artists at all stages of their careers and across disciplines to engage with Sarasota’s evolving collection. If no opportunities are currently open, please check back or subscribe to our newsletter to stay connected and aware of future projects.
