Call to Artists for the Buffalo Park Water Tank Mural – Requests for Qualifications

The City of Flagstaff seeks Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) for an artist or artist team to design and execute a large-scale mural on a water tank at Buffalo Park. This highly visible project envisions an artwork that will become an emblematic feature of the park and the surrounding area. The mural could reflect Flagstaff, Northern Arizona, the current activity and/or history of the park, or the communities that utilize this natural and recreational resource among other ideas.

Five finalists will receive an honorarium of $5,000. The total budget for this project is up to $300,000 for fabrication and installation.

Application Deadline: February 17, 2026, 5:00 pm (Arizona Time)

Note: Applications will be accepted exclusively through OpenGov. Artists must register on OpenGov before submitting an SOQ.
