City of San Antonio Public Art Projects are created by a team of individuals which include visual artists, design professionals, fabricators, installation experts, and marketing professionals. To be considered for future public art projects, you first need to apply and be approved for the Prequalified Public Art List. The Department opens applications for the Prequalified Public Art List biennially (every two years). Visual artists and support service providers are encouraged to apply.

FY 2025 applications close on Friday, October 25, 2024 at 4:30pm CT (Central Time).

This optional in-personal workshop will cover information about the City's Public Art Program, the Public Art Process, and information on the application and application process.

Practicing professional visual artists are eligible to apply as an individual or as part of an artist group. Due to funding guidelines, performing artists should not apply for the prequalified list unless they also create visual art. Arts agencies and/or nonprofit organizations who focus on visual arts are eligible to apply. Please note being on the Prequalified Public Art List does not guarantee work. 

Find out more about the Prequalified Public Art List at the Department of Arts & Culture's Apply to Be Prequalified page.
