The Call for Artists for the City of Sarasota’s One Stop Shop public art commission is now closed. We received more than 150 submissions, and we are deeply grateful for the high‑quality, thoughtful proposals submitted by artists from across the region and beyond.
All submissions are now undergoing eligibility review and scoring by the stakeholder jury in accordance with the published process and timeline.
The City of Sarasota is commissioning a new site‑specific public art installation for the One Stop Shop at 1575 Second Street, a highly active civic building serving thousands of residents, businesses, contractors, and visitors each year. The project seeks innovative, durable exterior artwork that complements the building’s modernist architectural character and enhances the surrounding urban environment.
Up to $100,000, inclusive of design, engineering, fabrication, installation, lighting integration, travel, and all project‑related expenses.
Open to professional artists and artist teams with experience delivering public art projects of similar scale.
The stakeholder jury is now evaluating all eligible submissions to select three finalists who will advance to the public feedback and presentation stages.
