This is not a single call but the door into New York City's public art commissioning: three programmes — the Department of Cultural Affairs' Percent for Art, the School Construction Authority's Public Art for Public Schools, and the MTA's Arts & Design — search this registry when researching artists for commissions. Projects are site-specific and span painting, mosaic, glass, textiles, sculpture and work integrated into infrastructure or architecture. Registration costs nothing and has no deadline, which makes it one of the cheapest long-term bets an artist working at architectural scale can place.
