RFQ APPLICATION LINK
The Salt Lake City Arts Council’s Public Art Program, in collaboration with the Salt Lake City Public Lands Department and the Salt Lake City Transportation Division, seeks to commission an artist or artist-led team to create an original, site-specific public artwork for Fairmont Park and the McClelland Shared Street in the Sugar House neighborhood. This commission is unique in its intent to unify two distinct yet connected sites: Fairmont Park and the recently improved McClelland Shared Street corridor. Together, these locations embody the intersection of recreation, mobility, and community life in Sugar House. The selected artist or team will play a pivotal role in shaping a cohesive sense of place, defining how residents and visitors experience this area for generations to come. The artwork will be integral in shaping how people move through the heart of Sugar House and arrive at Fairmont Park. By bridging these two spaces, the commissioned artist will create an artwork that serves as a landmark for the Sugar House neighborhood—a point of connection between park & street, leisure & commerce, and daily life & shared community identity.
COMMISION BUDGET: $230,000
DEADLINE: Tuesday, December 9, 2025 by 11:59 pm MT
