Digital Art Call for Entries Public Art CA

Digital media artists, Dyson & Womack are accepting submissions for the Public Art CA digital media call for entries. Public Art CA is a contemporary art collection commissioned for the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) and the California Health and Human Services (CHHS) new buildings in downtown Sacramento.

The call centers digital artworks on a 32.5ft high 24ft wide digital display within the CNRA building. This opportunity embraces a contemporary and accessible concept of what public art is, who makes it, and for whom it is for. We seek to commission artists and artworks that consider experimentation, innovation, and inclusion as central components of creation.

Submit your ideas for new or existing digital artworks to join our latest public art collection for the State of California. Artists working across all forms of digital media are welcome to apply.

Deadline to submit proposals is May 29th, 2021.
