AWARD: 2026-2028 Salt Lake City Public Art Pre-Qualified Artist Pool
FROM THE COUNCIL:
“The 2026-2028 Salt Lake City Public Art Pre-Qualified Artist Pool is a juried list of 62 professional artists and artist-led teams based in Utah. The purpose of the Pool is to support Utah-based artists by integrating more artwork and artistic elements into the urban landscape and help facilitate the selection of artists for public art and other special commission opportunities from the Salt Lake City Arts Council’s Public Art Program. The Pool is also a community resource available to private developers, local businesses, curators, other Salt Lake City divisions and departments, cultural workers, and community members wanting to connect with local artists and commission public art.
The artists on the following pages work in an array of mediums and creative processes, including: sculpture, murals, installation, mosaic, graphic design, fabrication, illustration, bronze, glass, stonework, woodworking, metalwork, cast concrete, mixed media, fiber arts, ceramics, digital art, sound art, light art, industrial design, painting, and others.
Artists on the 2026-2028 Salt Lake City Public Art Pre-Qualified Artist Pool were selected by members of the Salt Lake Art Design Board, a seven-member citizen advisory group appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council to oversee the Salt Lake City Public Art Program. Applicants were reviewed on their originality, skill, diversity, and professional history. The Pool is refreshed every three years.”
