Coliseum of Art · Winter 2026-27
Think beyond the interior. Six large street-facing display windows and two smaller windows beside the entrance offer space for installations facing Pike Street and 5th Avenue, both busy routes for pedestrians and cars. You might also propose illuminating the historic facade. For a more ambitious project, consider the expansive hallway beneath the main floor that runs from one side of the building to the other. Proposed locations are subject to a site review with our team.
New work, adaptations and existing installations are all welcome. Prepare your concept images or video, relevant experience, a short description and your budget. Due October 11, 2026.
Nothing goes to the curators until you press Submit. First you save a draft and read it back; you can edit as much as you like before submitting.
Use the same email address you applied with. No password or separate account is needed. You can edit until review starts; after that, contact the team for changes.
If you no longer have access to that inbox, contact Carol at towhomitmayconcern@publicdisplay.art. We will need to verify ownership before changing an application’s email.
Who is making it and where we can see what you have made before.
If you are pitching as a group.
Already started or submitted an application? Use "Email me my application links" above to continue it or add works to it, rather than starting a new one.
Optional supporting material, such as a resume, references or drawings. Include a resume if you have no portfolio.
A link is worth a thousand words for light work. YouTube, Vimeo, Drive.
Why this exhibition? Include relevant experience and references from organizations that have exhibited your work, especially for a new commission.
What is it, and what does a person standing in front of it experience?
Pick everything that applies.
The idea in plain words. What does it look like, what does it do, what is it made of.
Walk us through thirty seconds with the piece. Where do they stand, what changes, why do they stay.
If it responds to people, describe that in your idea above.
Optional. Tell us roughly how much space your work needs. Our team will arrange the show and confirm placement with you.
Pick the closest. You can add dimensions or special requirements in the notes below.
JPC Architects, April 7, 2021. This drawing shows the first-floor layout and retail, common and non-leasable areas. It is marked not to scale; room dimensions and current conditions must be confirmed with the team before fabrication. It does not show the lower hallway.
You do not need to choose a location to apply. Tell us the space your work needs; placement is arranged with selected artists.
Artists bring all equipment and handle installation and removal. Work should run from one standard 20-amp, 120-volt circuit. No ceiling mounts or amplified sound.
Optional. Tell us about dimensions, placement, darkness or anything the team should know. We will confirm the details with you.
We hope to include as many artists as possible. Small projects generally range from $1,000 to $5,000. Exceptional larger installations may be considered up to $15,000. Request what your work needs; funding is agreed before acceptance.
Include your artist fee, materials, equipment, transport, installation and removal. Artists supply their own equipment.
Optional. Add works here to keep one application and one private link.
One application can include up to ten works. Your contact details and experience apply to all of them. Give each work its own budget, images and videos. No separate account is needed.
Are you sure you want to remove work and its selected media from this application? This takes effect when you save.
Include concept images for new work, examples of existing work, or video of your installation.
