American artists (citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents or Permanent Workers of

federal buildings nationwide.
GSA announces an opportunity for a federal art commission in conjunction with the
new construction of a United States Courthouse in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
GSA will construct a new United States (U.S.) Courthouse to meet the needs of its
various tenants: U.S. Courts, U.S. Trustee, U.S. Attorneys and U.S. Marshals. With
the completion of the new construction project, the building will apply for Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification.
GSA allocates one-half of one percent of the estimated construction costs of new or
modernized federal buildings for art commissions. The art budget for the Harrisburg
U.S. Courthouse project is currently estimated to be approximately $640,000. One or
more artists will be awarded a fixed-price contract for a commission. A portion of the
art budget may be used to care for existing artwork at the building.
Artists who wish to be considered for this and all future GSA art commissions must
submit application materials to GSA's National Artists Registry (Registry). The
Registry constitutes the qualified list of artists for this and all GSA commissions.
Instructions on how to join the Registry are available on the following Web site:
