Pagosa Springs
, CO, US
APPLY HERE: https://mypagosa.org/2025-call-for-artists -- The Town of Pagosa Springs, in partnership with the Pagosa Springs Arts Council, is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) inviting artists to create a new public mural as part of the Town’s Public Arts Plan (mypagosa.org/pagosa-public-arts-program). The mural will be featured on the Geothermal Building, a prominent location along the main thoroughfare that offers high visibility to both locals and visitors. Positioned near a popular riverwalk, the artwork will provide an engaging visual experience for pedestrians while enhancing the area’s cultural and aesthetic vibrancy.
Pagosa Springs, derived from the Ute word “Pah-gosa,” meaning “healing water” or “boiling water,” is a small mountain town rich in history and natural beauty. Known for its geothermal hot springs, Pagosa is a sacred area for the Ute and Navajo peoples. Today, the town is celebrated for its outdoor recreation, cultural vibrancy, and connection to geothermal energy, which heats local businesses and homes while supporting the popular soaking pools at the Springs Resort and Spa. Pagosa Springs has a unique relationship with geothermal energy and its uses. From heating downtown businesses to the popular hot springs aquifer which feeds hot mineral soaking pools along the San Juan River to the nearby Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership growing domes that use geothermal heat to provide year-round vegetables as well as education of this renewable energy resource unique to Pagosa, the artwork on this building should reflect some or all aspects of these elements and embody the community’s heritage, offering a lasting piece that resonates with residents and visitors alike.
The 2025 public art selection will focus on creating a cohesive mural for the geothermal building, covering all or part of its exterior. The amount allotted to this project is anticipated to be $15,000 in the Town’s Fiscal Year 2025 Budget. The projected amount is subject to the availability of an annual appropriation by the Town. *Review to Site for updated plans already taking place with the building. The mural will ideally be completed by 12/31/25, but completion may be extended to 6/30/26, depending on the proposal.
Artist Budget:$15,000

APPLY HERE -- https://www.midatlanticarts.org/opportunity/walking-together/ -- Walking Together: Investing in Folklife in Communities of Color supports folklife and traditional arts rooted in communities of color by investing in artists/practitioners and the community organizations that care for them. It is a national funding program managed by the six U.S. regional arts organizations (RAOs).
Often called the “art of everyday life,” folklife includes traditional art forms and other creative expressions that reflect the aesthetics, practices, values, and beliefs of community groups. All traditions are connected to the history of the communities that practice them, but they are not just art forms of the past. Instead, they are “living traditions” that adapt to remain relevant in a changing world, including new and emerging traditions. Individuals and communities use traditional arts to build collective power, engage in healing, and strengthen their identity. Walking Together serves traditional artists/practitioners and organizations that show a deep commitment to sustaining folklife rooted in communities of color. WHAT IS IT?
$15,000 grants for traditional artists/practitioners
$50,000 grants for community organizations
Grant funds have limited restrictions and do not have to be used for a specific project. They may be used to grow your work and help you support your community’s traditions into the future.

APPLY VIA LINK -- https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=13910 -- The committee is looking to commission artwork for a large wall located just inside the entrance on the north side of the ground floor of Hurst Hall. This area is where students gather to wait for classes and is across from a student study area. Media of all types will be considered, but must be mounted to or on the wall. If mounted to the wall, artwork should meet ADA requirements. Please refer to the location images in the full RFQ document to see more information about the location wall and for measurements. The main focus for the artwork is the area currently occupied by the map and bulletin board, but the artwork may occupy more of the wall space and even extend further down the hallway.
A consideration of an existing public artwork in the building would be appreciated; ideally the new artwork would have a relationship in some way. The existing artwork is “Wingscape,” by David Griggs and Scott Parsons. This artwork consists of two outdoor stone columns, an exterior frieze, and two murals with a total of 13,000 handmade tiles and 200 distinct colored glazes.The artists were inspired by Gunnison’s natural geography of cairns, columns, and visible geological strata. This is evident in the exterior columns, which include some stones collected from Gunnison and other regions of Colorado. Another source of inspiration was the region’s unique biodiversity, specifically two endangered species of butterfly. This artwork is well liked on campus, in particular due to its non-literal/non-figurative interpretation of the subject matter. The committee for this art project would similarly like to see non-objective artwork examples that relate to the programs in the building. Please see these images of “Wingscape” for reference.
