Call for Art: Deadline Extended for Security Gate Art Installation

Published on December 09, 2024

The Los Alamos County Art in Public Places Board (APPB) has extended the submission deadline for its call for art to create a functional, artistic security gate for the Betty Ehart Senior Center. Artists now have until 5:00 p.m. on Friday, December 13, 2024, to submit their proposals.

This commissioned piece will enhance the beauty of the space while meeting the safety and functionality needs of the location. Artists are encouraged to bring their unique vision to the project and may take inspiration from “Odetta,” the artistic gate by K.R. (Cricket) Ernst at Mesa Public Library. The selected gate must also include a County-supplied panic bar for emergency use.

Submission Details:

Artists must provide a narrative description, installation specifications, a color rendering or photograph of the proposed design, a resume, and examples of previous work. Submissions should be sent to chelsea.ashcraft@lacnm.us or mailed to:
