Proposals will be accepted through Oct. 4 for public artwork for a roundabout planned at Horizon Drive and G Road in Grand Junction.

Proposals should reflect the theme of outdoor recreation as well as complement nearby roundabout installations. Artwork must be installed by July 2025.

“The city’s commission on arts and culture seeks artwork that embodies creativity, whimsy and innovation while upholding the highest standards of quality, permanence and general appeal,” said Ken Sherbenou, director of Grand Junction Parks and Recreation. “We are very proud of the city’s public art program featured in roundabouts and throughout our downtown, which is made possible in large part thanks to the city’s 1 percent for the arts program.”

Interested artists should apply by submitting letters of interest, resumes, proposals and images of their original works to Haley Van Camp at haley.vancamp@gjcity.org. The Grand Junction Commission on Arts and Culture will select the artist to complete the project.

Funding for the project will come from the Horizon Drive Business Improvement District and city funding for the acquisition and display of art in public places.
