Call to Artists: Switzer Canyon Roundabout 3D Artwork

The City of Flagstaff seeks Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) for an artist to work with a design team to create a landmark 3D artwork within a roundabout at the intersection of N. Switzer Canyon Drive and N. Turquoise Drive. Direction for the public art is to successfully contextualize the 3D artwork within a hardscape that accommodates traffic safety signage and sightlines; to create a site specific icon that can be appreciated by drive-by traffic; to determine the 3D artwork through engaging with the community; to research the site location and artistic inspiration; to create, fabricate and install 3D artwork within budget; and to create a 3D artwork that is durable to the elements, requires minimal maintenance, meets safety requirements, and deters graffiti.

Application Deadline: July 1, 2025, 3 pm (Arizona Time)

This juried exhibition showcases artworks that reflect transformation, memory, and the human (or animal) face as a witness to aging, identity, and experience. Whether literal or metaphorical, traditional portrait or experimental abstraction, artists are encouraged to think expansively and creatively about how faces appear, what they reveal, and what they conceal.
