Metro Arts is issuing an Open Request for Qualifications to design, fabricate and install an interior, permanent Public Artwork Wall Sculpture for the Nashville Youth Campus for Empowerment (NYCE) in Nashville, Tennessee. The new youth campus will replace the existing juvenile court located at 100 Woodland St, Nashville, TN 37213.
The new site is located at 1354 Brick Church Pike, 2.5 miles north of the original site, near the intersection of I-24 and Trinity Lane. The total artist budget allocated for the new public art sculpture at the juvenile justice center is $400,000.00.
Once selected, the artist or artist team must facilitate a minimum of four (4) community engagement activities, including at least two (2) in-person events with residents and stakeholders. Community input will inform the artist’s proposed design for the public art.

After the design is approved, the selected artist will develop drawings, fabricate, and install the permanent public artwork at the Nashville Youth Campus for Empowerment (NYCE) prior to its targeted opening in January of 2027

Creative Philadelphia, the city’s office of arts and culture, seeks qualified mosaic artists for a significant public art commission at the Francis J.

A second piece will be placed at the center’s new interior entryway. Artists will collaborate with local residents to ensure the artworks reflect the community’s identity and aspirations.

The Art Selection Committee is seeking public artwork that marks the transition from a historic, tree-lined neighborhood into the vibrant urban environment of the NEON District, while also inviting and signifying the entrance to the Fusion apartment complex. This site lies at the intersection of the traditional, refined atmosphere of a museum and the raw, eclectic energy of NEON. We invite artists to create a bold, unexpected installation that challenges conventional outdoor sculpture formats.

Rather than a static piece on a pedestal, we envision artwork that flows and interacts with the space—perhaps wrapping around a corner, climbing a building, or extending into the surroundings. The installation should be dynamic, lively, and thought-provoking, embodying creativity in its most fluid and experimental form. We are looking for bright, bold expressions of art that reflect the unique, funky spirit of the NEON District while marking the entrance to Fusion as a distinctive, welcoming landmark.

SIZE/MEDIUM: The artwork should be designed to engage both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, with a scale that commands attention from a distance while offering intricate details that can be appreciated up close. Reflecting the neighborhood’s themes of water, glass, fluidity, and reflection, artists are encouraged to explore motion, either through kinetic elements or the visual perception of movement, allowing the piece to interact dynamically with its environment. The site is equipped with electricity, allowing for potential lighting or other interactive features. Durability is key: the artwork must be crafted from permanent, low-maintenance materials that are safe, weather-resistant, and designed to stand the test of time.
