Open Calls for Artists and New Exhibition
Request for Interest (RFI) in Public Artwork Projects for the Sunport Terminal Renovation
New Mexico artists are invited to submit a brief statement of interest to create the New Mexico artists' registry for the art projects at the Sunport.
The Sunport Reimagined Art Selection Committee is seeking works that reflect the Albuquerque Sunport's unique sense of place and history, and is taking special steps to achieve a balance between traditional and contemporary aesthetics, artistic elements and depictions.

There are up to five sites for artwork including commissions and purchases of existing work. A variety of media and styles will be considered. The overall art budget for this project is approximately $3 million with individual project budgets ranging from $200,000 to $1 to $1.5 million.

A submitted response to the RFI is required for all New Mexico artists who wish to be considered for any of the Sunport projects. The Committee will review a pool of qualified artists from the RFI for certain sites, and select semi-finalists who will receive additional briefings, materials, and possibly on-site tours.
