GSA announces an opportunity for a Federal art commission in conjunction with the new construction of a multi-story U.S. Courthouse Annex (New Annex) in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico (PR). The New Annex will be linked physically, functionally, and systematically with the Federico Degetau (Degetau) Federal Building and Clemente Ruiz Nazario (Nazario) U.S. Courthouse Complex (Complex). The New Annex will be located on the southwest corner of the 27-acre Federal Campus (Campus), adjoining both Degetau and Nazario.

  
The existing buildings, Degetau and Nazario, constructed in 1974, and comprising approximately 435,000 gross square feet, are situated on the Campus in Hato Rey, PR. The Campus also includes a standalone childcare center, parking structure, and law enforcement building. The Campus represents the largest facility under GSA’s jurisdiction, custody and control in the Caribbean. The Campus will remain operational throughout the construction.

  
The New Annex will be approximately 153,000 gross square feet and will include six (6) courtrooms and ten (10) judges’ chambers suites. The goal for the project is to design a universal plan that provides an equitable solution for all employees and visitors who will work or interact with the facility. The user experience (in the facility) will treat all groups with equity, dignity and respect. The facility will provide universal accessibility so that all people, including people with disabilities, can fully and independently use the entire facility. The design will connect with the community and local environment.

  
GSA allocates one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the estimated construction costs of new or modernized Federal facilities for art commissions. The art budget for the New Annex project is estimated to be between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000\. GSA intends to award one (1) or more firm-fixed price AIA contracts for the project. If more than one (1) contract award, the budget will be divided among the contracts.

  
Artists who wish to be considered for this and all future GSA art commissions must submit application materials to GSA’s National Artist Registry (Registry). The Registry constitutes the qualified list of artists for this and all GSA commissions.

The Kansas City, Missouri Parks and Recreation Department is excited to announce a call for an experienced artist or an artist team to design and implement thematically related exterior, site-responsive sculptures or installations of original design for Brush Creek Cultural Heritage Trail. The artwork should actively engage visitors and enhance the natural beauty of the park.

This commission is open to U.S.-based professional artists who have a proven track record of creating and installing site-responsive, durable, and sustainable public art. Preference will be given to artists with experience working with community engagement, permitting processes and who have a body of work that demonstrates their ability to create site-responsive, durable and sustainable work.

The in-grade art should be designed to withstand the elements and be made of durable materials that require minimal maintenance to be incorporated into the pavement surface. The theme of the artwork shall be in line with the natural beauty and history of Brush Creek Cultural Heritage Trail.

A cultural heritage trail is a path or route linking significant items of an area’s heritage or history. The trail may include markers or signs explaining the cultural significance of the area, such as people, events, historic landmarks, or monuments. Cultural heritage trails can also include guided tours led by experts to provide more in-depth information and context about the cultural heritage of an area. They are also used to promote and preserve cultural heritage sites, and they are popular in many tourist destinations around the world.

The Brush Creek Cultural Heritage Trail is envisioned to be a series of interconnected nodes that tell the story of the American Civil Rights Movement and the Black experience in Kansas City. The completed project and programming are intended to draw visitors to the Cultural Heritage Corridor in Kansas City, Missouri from the metropolitan area, other states, and other countries for inspiration, reflection, and education. Artwork is a key component to convey this important historical record. Interpretive materials at the nodes will be designed and installed to facilitate the development of educational programming.

Kansas City, Missouri is proud to showcase the rich history of its Black community. As you travel through this corridor, the stories of the people, the events and the culture that built a strong African American community, you will learn the stories of those people who invested physically, emotionally, economically, politically, and socially in Kansas City.

**Naming and Branding**

It is envisioned that the name of the trail will be **Celebration Cultural Trail:** Exploring the History of Black Kansas City

**Mission Statement**

Celebration Cultural Trail exists to illuminate African American stories of Black Kansas City through education, contemplation, and reconciliation.

Each of the selected artists will receive a stipend of $2,000.00 for development of art design drawings and models.

  
**Budget**: $400,000

Atlantic Gallery, located in the historic Landmark Arts Building in Chelsea NYC, invites artists to submit work for the upcoming juried exhibition, This is the Future of Non-Objective Art! What Happens when the formal, ephemeral, intuitive, cultural, and spiritual co-exist? You get new engagements.

  
Non-Objective art is full of “invisible realities” that address our times, beyond the language of abstraction and its great history. To expand its definition beyond formalism and reductive art, we are seeking post 20th-century makers, creating innovative work that is grounded in new approaches. This might embody sensory experiences or philosophical inquiry or experimental processes and techniques. All practices will be considered in 2D & 3D, as well as a variety of substrates. Open to artists nationally & internationally.

The Juror, Suzan Shutan, will award two artists a joint exhibition at Atlantic Gallery at a future date. A PDF catalog of the exhibition will be available.
