RFQ APPLICATION LINK
The Salt Lake City Arts Council’s Public Art Program, in collaboration with the Salt Lake City Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA), Salt Lake City Public Lands, West Side residents, and other stakeholders, seeks to commission an artist or artist-led team to create a community-informed public art installation the west side of the 9-Line Trail. The work should be informed by—and created for—West Side communities, reflecting their shared values and fostering a sense of belonging. To maximize community impact, the selected artist or team will build upon findings from the extensive engagement efforts already conducted and summarized in the attached reports. The resulting artwork should authentically represent the West Side’s culture, history, and people, serving as a landmark for both the city and the communities it represents.
