Sacramento County Department of Airports Request for Qualifications and Experience (RFQ&E)
Artist Services for the Design, Fabrication, and Installation of Public Artworks at Sacramento International Airport (New Terminal B Parking Garage and Pedestrian Walkway Projects)
The County of Sacramento Department of Airports is soliciting Statements of Qualifications And Experience (SOQ&Es) from qualified artists to design, fabricate, and install permanent artworks at two sites located at the Sacramento International Airport as part of the Department’s large-scale capital improvement program known as “SMForward.” The Department invites all qualified artists residing in the United States interested in providing these services to submit a SOQ&E in compliance with the requirements of this Request for Qualifications and Experience (RFQ&E).
Project Overview
The Department announced on February 1, 2023, a $1.3 billion expansion program collectively known as “SMForward” that will reshape the Airport to accommodate projected passenger growth over the next seven years.
SMForward, which includes six major construction projects, represents a historic opportunity to integrate art into the traveler’s experience while reinforcing and contributing to the Sacramento region’s identity. When completed, SMForward will include permanent artworks inside and outside the new buildings, on the facade of the new parking garage facility, within the new pedestrian walkway, at the new Terminal B gates, and at sites in and around the new Ground Transportation Center. These new works will add to the more than two dozen artworks already gracing the Airport’s public spaces. This RFQ&E is a call for the first four artwork opportunities under SMForward’s New Terminal B Parking Garage and New Pedestrian Walkway projects.

Project Grant for the creation of NEW WORK
Prospect Art invites visual artists worldwide to submit their work for consideration in our ONE WORK and NEW WORK programs. This year we are prioritizing works that explore environmental issues, climate change, and the impact of human existence on our planet.
Our NEW WORK program is a mini-grant initiative that provides support for the production of new artwork. We aim to support professional artists at all career stages who are not currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate studio art programs, regardless of their location. The program runs once a year, offering a $1000 mini-grant to individual artists or artist collectives. The grant is intended to fully fund a project that can be completed within the next 12 months. We welcome submissions that explore innovative ideas and push the boundaries of traditional art practices, with a particular interest in self-contained, conceptual-based projects.
The ONE WORK publishing program is dedicated to a critical dialogue that focuses on one specific completed work by an artist for our monthly online publication. We are interested in highlighting various conceptual-based works that approach contemporary issues in a new and exciting way and represent the diverse voices and populations of the world. For this program we welcome artist submissions of work that has been completed in the past 2 years.
