Proposals sought for roundabout artwork

Proposals will be accepted through Oct. 2 for artwork planned for installation at a new traffic roundabout at the intersection of 24 and G roads in Grand Junction.

Artists should submit letters of interest, resumes and six each annotated images of original representative works to Jonathan Wheatley, arts and culture supervisor for the City of Grand Junction. Submissions should be emailed to jonathanw@gjcity.org.

The Grand Junction Commission on Arts and Culture will select the artist to complete the work, which must be installed at the roundabout by Aug. 1, 2024.

The city allocates 1 percent of the city budget for certain capital improvements to acquire and display public artwork and fund efforts to expand opportunities for residents and visitors to experience art.
