The Bernalillo County Public Art Program is currently accepting proposals for existing works of visual art through our Unsolicited Proposals Process. While artists working in all media are encouraged to apply, for this round of unsolicited proposals the Arts Board seeks to diversify the Public Art Collection through the purchase of works of outdoor sculpture.
Deadline: Submissions are open until Friday, May 31, 2024.
How to Apply: For more details and to submit your proposal, please visit here. Please note that artists who have had their artwork purchased by the county within one year of the submission deadline or currently have a contract with Bernalillo Public Art for a project will be ineligible for one calendar year from the date of purchase.

About Us
Bernalillo County's Public Art Program was established in 1992 with the adoption of the county’s Art in Public Places Ordinance, enacted in 1992 (revised 1997).
The county's Public Art Program believes that public art can:
- Energize public spaces, inspire thought, and transform live, work and play places
- Heighten awareness, question assumptions, transform the landscape, express community values, and help define a community’s identity
- Have an economic benefit for a community by attracting visitors, and by supporting artists and local businesses
The program currently has more than 450 works of art, most of which can be viewed via the Public Art Collection Story Map and Betty Sabo Inventory Story Map.
