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

unencumbered call. CMLC encourages all locally, nationally and internationally qualified artists to
apply. The public art design will beautify, activate, and enliven the Arts Commons campus. The
successful artist/artist team will work with CMLC, Arts Commons, the design team KPMB Architects,
Hindle Architects, and TAWAW Architecture Collective, and the Construction Manager Ellis Don to
coordinate design, fabrication, and installation. The Arts Commons Transformation and Olympic Plaza Transformation comprise of a $660 million
program of projects consisting of a new performing arts centre building (ACT Expansion),
modernization and augmentation of existing facilities (ACT Modernization), and the renewal of
Olympic Plaza (Olympic Plaza Transformation (OPT)). Together, these make up the largest artsfocused
infrastructure project currently underway in Canada. In December of 2024, after four years
of extensive community consultation and planning, CMLC, the City of Calgary, and Arts Commons
broke ground for the ACT Expansion. As a result of the placement of the ACT Expansion within the Arts Commons campus, the building’s
north edge is located immediately adjacent to the public realm and is highly visible from the passing
Calgary Transit (CTrain) light rail cars and by pedestrians. The design of the Expansion limits windows
along the north edge, leaving a solid, rather long and tall façade bordering an important part of the
public realm. As a result, CMLC and its partners are launching the ACT Expansion Public Art RFQ that
will play an essential role in connecting the Arts Commons Campus with its urban context.

Seattle
, WA, US
In preparation of our 2025 opening, we are excited to announce our first 20 calls for West Coast artists and curators.
We do open calls differently. As an idea-based art center, we are looking for bold and unconventional ideas, and celebrate mediums and genres often passed by. Renderings and budgets are valuable, but we are more interested in your ability to communicate your ideas and the quality of your vision. We want to show the works that other institutions won’t and elevate under-represented talents across the wide spectrum of creative self-expression.
Be wildly creative, ideate your project clearly, show proof of your ability to execute and share with us your boldest dreams. Winners will be selected to move forward within 30 days of the posted deadline.
You are invited to submit to as many open calls as you’d like. Please review the following prompts and use the form linked here to submit each individual application.

In 1966, the Central Oklahoma Transportation and Parking Authority (COTPA) was born in Oklahoma City with just 18 buses in its fleet. Known as EMBARK, the hybrid city department and public trust takes on the vital role of planning, constructing, owning, and running passenger transportation systems and downtown parking facilities for the city. EMBARK doesn't just stop at buses; it offers a rich tapestry of multi-modal transit services throughout the greater Oklahoma City area. These services encompass many options, from the extensive fixed-route bus network (comprising 23 routes) to the new efficient bus rapid transit system known as RAPID. Plus, the iconic OKC Streetcar, ADA paratransit services, and river ferry transit options.
The Sheridan Walker garage in downtown Oklahoma City at the intersection of Sheridan and Walker Avenues currently has a mural that is deteriorating rapidly. This Call to Artists is for an artist or team to design a new mural, remove the current mural, prep and prime the concrete wall, paint the new mural, then cover the new mural thoroughly with UV protectant. The existing mural is approximately 5,225 square feet and will need to be removed in its entirety. After removal, there are three possible scenarios for the new mural placement. See the attached document for explanation of the scenarios. Finalists will prepare a proposal that includes all three potential scenarios.
Budget Description
The total Art Award includes all costs to remove the current mural, design, create, and paint the new mural, including but not limited to all materials, equipment, rental, research, travel, transportation, and required insurance.
Artwork Location Description
The intersection of Sheridan and Walker Avenues is a high profile location in downtown Oklahoma City

Public Mural for Geothermal Building (apply via link)
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.
