Call for artists launched for city's first artist roster

Applications are now being accepted for the city of Sarasota’s inaugural public art roster, which will prequalify artists for consideration for public art-funded initiatives during 2024-2026. Artists can apply at SarasotaFL.gov/CallForArtists.

The roster will serve as the primary tool to launch new strategies and goals for citywide public art projects.

“The public art program is positioned for growth and advancement due to the City Commission’s recent adoption of the Public Art Plan,” said Public Art Manager Mary Davis Wallace. “The artist roster will streamline the process by prequalifying local, regional and international artists for a variety of exciting projects over the next few years.”

The roster is open to individual artists, artist teams and artist collectives. Applications will be accepted through Monday, Sept. 25. Questions should be directed to [email protected].
