Open artist commissions and public-art RFPs
Public-art commissions and artist RFPs ask for qualifications, concepts or complete proposals in exchange for a project budget. That budget may need to cover design, engineering, fabrication, insurance, travel and installation. These listings distinguish artist compensation from inclusive project budgets and show whether shortlisted proposal work receives an honorarium.

This category is real and this desk is built for it, but no source we have reviewed is publishing an open one today. Rather than show an empty grid, here is the honest position: a record appears here when an organiser's own page states it, and never before.
Public-art commissions in particular are announced through municipal and agency portals, each of which needs its terms and crawl policy reviewed before it can be enabled.
