    The Utah Public Art Program is excited to announce The Utah Public Art Program is excited to announce a new Request for Qualifications for the Department of Public Safety Evidence Warehouse building.

This RFQ is open to artists or artist teams residing in Utah. The Art Selection Committee is seeking to commission multiple interior works, with installation opportunities being available throughout several areas. Artworks are being solicited for both public and employee-only areas, and should focus on explorations of Utah’s natural beauty.

Evidence Warehouse employees value the service they provide to the Utah public and their work is often isolating and underappreciated. Artwork for this building will bring an atmosphere of color, texture, and vibrant life that will improve the working conditions for staff and visitors.

Interested applicants can visit the Public Art Opportunities link in our bio in order to access the application and learn more about this project.

Deadline: May 11, 2026

On March 27, we gathered 150 of Utah’s cultural community leaders @lovelandlivingplanet 🦈🐠 to move beyond the day-to-day and tackle the strategic questions weighing on us in the present and defining our future. 💡 From Kelly Barsdate's insights on Strategic Messaging for 2026 to local case studies on Designing for Impact and Never Wasting a Crisis, the room was a braintrust of collective intelligence. 🧠

Our director Vicki Bourns shared: "This leadership gig is a tough job to do alone. And you are not alone—just look around." 🤝

By facilitating these high-level provocations, we aren't just reacting to the landscape... we are actively shaping it! ✨ When we collaborate, we ensure that our state's cultural communities remain prominent, innovative, and tenacious.

So much appreciation for everyone who attended our forum last week! 🙌
