The City of Kansas City, Missouri One Percent for Art program seeks to commission a U.S.-based professional visual artist or artist team to design art for the southwest corner lawn of City Hall grounds, located at 414 E 12th St, Kansas City, MO 64106. Preference will be given to artists based in the Kansas City, Missouri Combined Statistical Area. This project is being funded by one percent of project costs of renovating the City Hall parking garage, with an estimated completion date of July 2025.

Three semifinalist artists will be asked to propose designs. All semifinalist proposals must be designed to be installed on the southwest corner lawn of City Hall grounds. The southwest corner lawn measures approximately 90’ x 30’. All art must fit within these dimensions.

All artistic elements may be required to comply with applicable building codes, such as but not limited to the Americans with Disabilities Act and the 2018 Uniform Building Code (UBC). The garage renovation project team may review proposed elements relative to such requirements, including potential safety and/or security considerations.
