REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
Public Art Project: City of Denver: Buchtel Boulevard
Budget: Approximately $120,000 USD
Eligibility: Open to artists or artist teams residing in the United States
DEADLINE: Thursday, March 19, 2026, 11:59 pm MST

Denver Public Art seeks to commission an artist or artist team to create original public artwork(s) for a new public art opportunity along Buchtel Boulevard, between University Boulevard and Colorado Boulevard, in Southeast Denver’s University Neighborhood (District 6). This project is part of the City’s University Neighborhoods Safer Streets initiative, a transportation improvement effort focused on increasing safety and accessibility for people walking, biking, and traveling through the area.

The goal of this public art project is to enhance the Buchtel Boulevard corridor with a creative, engaging artwork that complements the Safer Streets improvements and contributes to a more welcoming and visually compelling environment. The artwork will be experienced by a wide range of users—including neighbors, commuters, students, cyclists, and visitors—and should thoughtfully respond to a highly active, outdoor thoroughfare.

The commission amount for an artist or artist team is approximately $120,000.00 USD. A selection panel of community representatives, arts and culture professionals and civic leaders has been assembled to identify art opportunities and to select and recommend an artist or artist team for this project. The panel is seeking artists who work in mediums suitable for outdoor display for this project.
