The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture (ARTS) commissions a variety of public temporary and permanent artworks through its 1% for Art program. The public art program works with several City departments engaged in capital construction projects and City-wide initiatives. With several projects launching through the City’s utilities, parks, and transportation departments, this pre-qualified artist roster will streamline the selection process and will be used when appropriate. This is one of three methods ARTS uses to select artists: open calls, invitational calls, and rosters.
The Public Art Artist Roster 2021-2023 will include both emerging and established public artists whose applications will be reviewed and juried separately:
Application Requirements
Your letter of interest and biographical statement may be submitted either in written form or in a video/audio statement that includes the information below.

The intent of this option is to provide an opportunity for individuals who feel they can represent themselves better verbally versus in writing through the letter of interest (for example for applicants for whom English is a second language and/or other considerations).
