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.
