City of Philadelphia Public Art Program Artist Registry

Deadline: Ongoing

Artist Registry
City of Philadelphia Public Art Program

Philadelphia, PA

The City of Philadelphia Public Art Program consists of the Percent for Art Program, and the Conservation and Collection Management Program, commissioning new works of public art and overseeing the preservation and maintenance of the City's public art collection. The Public Art Program also facilitates temporary art initiatives with non-profits and other rganizations by providing public partnership and support.

The artist registry will allow artists to participate by maintaining a record of their work with the Philadelphia Public Art program. Public art staff, panelists, architects, and City agencies will consult the registry as opportunities become available. Public Art opportunities will still be announced via email and posted on our website; the registry will be used in addition to City selection processes. The registry is open to all professional artists. There are no residency requirements for the registry, although some opportunities will be limited to the greater Philadelphia region.

Submissions will be accepted throughout the year and will be kept for 2 years from the submission date. It is the artist responsibility to update their application.
