The New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center 

Call to Artists: Request for Qualifications

for Public Art Installation in Pedestrian Park Project

In partnership with Arts Council New Orleans, the commission will activate

the public space at critical nodes along Convention Center Boulevard.

Deadline is Friday, March 18th 

The New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center has approved plans to begin a five-year renovation to the 35-year old Convention Center. As part of the $557 million capital improvement plan, the Authority included development of a $75 million, 7.5 acre pedestrian park. The park will span the length of the Center along Convention Center Boulevard, creating a safer and more diverse experience for both visitors and residents. 

Arts Council New Orleans has partnered with the Center to invite artists to submit qualifications for a permanent public art installation in the Center's new pedestrian park. This Call for Artists is a Request for Qualifications only. A short-list of artists will be invited from this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to participate in a funded Request for Proposals (RFP) round. The final three commissions will be selected and awarded from the proposing artists. 

This call is open to professional artists or artist teams led by a professional artist. Community groups or non-professional artists must submit their application in conjunction with a professional artist who meets the eligibility requirements.
