EXTERNAL APP --https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=15322 -- The City of Montrose, Colorado, is seeking proposals from experienced mural and metalsmith artists to design and install a large-scale, interactive, and community-inspired art installation on the southwest exterior wall of City Hall. Collaborative proposals from teams of artists are welcomed, particularly where distinct skill sets are needed to integrate both mural and metalwork components. This installation will be permanent and should have a minimum lifespan of 10 years. Project Goals & Key Elements The Montrose City Hall art installation should be an interactive landmark that immerses both residents and visitors in Montrose’s breathtaking natural landscape. The ideal proposal will combine a mural and metalwork attached to the building. Designed to engage and inspire, it will invite public participation through features like photo opportunities, 3D elements offering unique perspectives, or a design that shifts with the viewer's angle. This installation should turn the artwork into an experience, not just something to admire from afar. The design should draw inspiration from Montrose’s distinctive landscape, highlighting iconic features such as the Black Canyon, the Gunnison and Uncompahgre Rivers, high desert terrain, or the surrounding mountain backdrop.

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.

Projects that explore interdependence, relationships, and systems through Indigenous and ancestral practices are encouraged to apply. For the 2025 cycle, the program will distribute over $520,000 in funding. This more than doubles the yearly funding since AWAW EAG’s inaugural year, offering more artists the opportunity to have their projects funded.
