Call for Art: Two-Dimensional Temporary Public Art Installation for Spring 2026

Rochester Contemporary Art Center (RoCo) invites artists to propose three images for a temporary public art installation at their main facility. Projects of particular interest connect visitors to the location, community, and/or history of the neighborhood; challenge visitors and passersby; and address important social and political issues. RoCo welcomes visual artists of all genres and invites visual artists to collaborate with literary artists.

The selected series of three images will be exhibited to the public 24/7 for 4-6 months. Images will be printed on weather-safe material at approximately 9 feet high by 6 feet wide. Selected projects must have a resolution of 12,000 px (h) x 8,000 px (w). The artist will receive a $400 stipend and use fee for exhibiting preexisting images. Artists interested in creating new works for this submission should contact RoCo. All production and installation costs are covered by RoCo.
