REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS

Public Art Project: Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre

Budget: Approximately $235,000.00 USD

Eligibility: Artists or Artist Teams residing in the United States

DEADLINE: Monday, September 8, 2025, 11:59 P.M. MST

Denver Public Art seeks to commission an artist or artist team to create public artworks for Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. The goal of the project is to incorporate permanent artwork into the park and amphitheatre, integrating natural and man-made areas at Red Rocks. The public art will serve to enhance the experience of those who visit Red Rocks but not detract from the natural landscape.

The commission amount for an artist or artist team is $235,000.00 USD.

A selection panel of community representatives, arts and culture professionals and civic leaders has been assembled to identify art opportunities and to select and recommend an artist or artist team for this project. The panel is seeking artists who work in mediums suitable for exterior spaces, that complement the natural surroundings of the park and the architecture of the amphitheatre (stone, metal, wood, etc.) for this project.

This event will be hosted on Zoom. Interested applicants are asked to register to get information on how to join prior to the event. If you cannot attend, a recording will be available on the Denver Arts & Venues Vimeo channel.
