Artists Services

The City of Belton, Missouri, seeks an artist over the age of 18 to conceptualize and fabricate a permanent, weather-durable sculpture art piece on an existing concrete pad at City Hall along Main Street. Performance of the work will take place offsite at the vendor's premises, and the selected artist must transport materials and tools while completing the installation no later than April 1, 2027. USA-based individual artists or organizations are eligible, and emerging artists are encouraged to apply. Applicants must submit a letter of interest, a current resume, up to 12 digital images of past work, and an image identification sheet electronically to [email protected] or by mail to Assistant City Manager Mike Ekey by Monday, November 23 at 5 p.m. The Public Arts Committee evaluates submissions based on the artistic quality of past work and experience, with the potential for finalist interviews. The selected artist will receive $5,000 in total compensation, paid in three installments based on agreement execution, design acceptance, and project completion.
