  • Brief Description

    The City of Mesa is seeking artists/teams through this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) interested in participating in an exciting effort to enhance the new City Hall building to be located at Mesa City Plaza. Plans have been developed for a new City Hall building by Mesa firm, Adaptive Architects, with completion expected in fall 2024. Multiple opportunities for public art exist in the building’s plans with three of those opportunities represented in this RFQ. The intention for the City Hall public art projects is to celebrate our vibrant city and boldly announce Mesa as a premier location for people to live, work, and visit. The public art elements of the new City Hall should serve as a beacon to viewers communicating that Mesa is an innovative, welcoming community and authentically enrich the city’s sense of place.

    This RFQ is for three specific opportunities:
    • Vertical interior sculpture
    • Outdoor sculpture or series of sculptures
    • Digital art on an interior display screen

    **05/31/23 Update: The deadline for this opportunity has been extended to June 23, 2023.
