Dear Artist:

Thank you for your interest in the Art in Architecture Program of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).

The Art in Architecture Program oversees the commissioning of artworks for federal facilities nationwide. These artworks—including sculpture, murals, paintings, and other architecturally scaled works in a variety of media—are created by living American artists (citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents of the United States).

Commission opportunities are advertised on the government’s federal procurement Web site, www.fbo.gov. However, artists do not need to submit their materials for each specific solicitation;

once on the GSA registry, artists are part of the broad pool of candidates considered for every upcoming commission.

To be considered for federal art commissions nationwide, please submit the following materials to GSA by e-mail as file attachments, or by sharing the files via Google Drive:

1. A completed copy of the GSA Form 7437.

2. Up to 20 representative images of your work created within the last ten years.

Please submit the images in JPEG format. Each individual JPEG file should be at least 500 KB, but no more than 2 MB. Please use JPEG file names with your name and a number, for example: 01AlexanderCalder, 02AlexanderCalder, etc. Please also include an image list that provides the title, date, media, dimensions, and location of each artwork.

3. A current résumé. This résumé should include any previous public commissions, your exhibitions history, museum collections that include your work, as well as a list of awards, honors and grants.

Please e-mail your materials (or any questions) to one of the following GSA associates:
