The Salt Lake City Arts Council’s Public Art Program invites artists and artist-led teams residing in Utah to submit qualifications for potential inclusion in the 2026 – 2028 Pre-Qualified Artist Pool for upcoming public art opportunities located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Pre-Qualified Artist Pool supports Utah-based public artists by integrating more artwork and artistic elements into citywide infrastructure. It also serves as a community resource for recommending artists for a variety of new public art commissions. In recent years, the Public Art Program has received increased interest from private developers, local businesses, other Salt Lake City divisions and departments, and community members seeking to collaborate with local artists. Artists in the Pool will be featured on a public roster that is publicly available to anyone looking to commission public art.

DEADLINE: Friday, October 31, 2025 by 5:00 pm MST

ELIGIBILITY: 
Emerging, mid-career, and established practicing artists or artist-led teams whose primary residential address is located in the State of Utah are eligible to apply. Artist teams of any size may apply; all applicants must reside in Utah. Artists who apply as part of a team may also apply as an individual artist, in a separate application.

Applicants who are currently represented on the 2023 – 2025 Pre-Qualified Artist Pool and would like to be considered for the 2026 2028 Pre-Qualified Artist Pool will need to fill out a new application. 

SUBMISSIONS: All applications must be submitted through the Submittable (submittable.com) website, link below.
