Public Art Commission & Exhibition Open Call Watch

Track opportunities for US visual artists. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days that are new or close within 45 days: public art and percent-for-art commission calls with budgets of $5,000 or more from cities, states, transit agencies, airports, universities, hospitals and the GSA; juried exhibition, biennial and prize open calls with fees under $50; museum and gallery open submission windows; Art Basel, Frieze, EXPO Chicago, Armory, Untitled, SCOPE, Superfine, Affordable Art Fair, Other Art Fair and regional fair application deadlines and booth costs; mural and installation programs; artist registry and pre-qualified list openings; art licensing and print program calls from established companies; artist rights, VARA and resale royalty rule changes and rulings; and enforcement actions against pay-to-play galleries and fraudulent calls. Prefer arts agencies, CaFE, Submittable, institution pages, fair organizers and established arts reporting; ignore vanity galleries and calls with fees over $50 and no prize. Put the commissioning body or venue first in the title with the budget, prize or fee and the deadline. Use high severity for a commission of $50,000 or more, a deadline within 10 days for a major program, or an active fraud alert. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for the opportunity, eligibility, the budget or fee, how to apply, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
