Open Calls for Public Art in Marion County

Call for Art Proposals | Art in State Buildings Project (Interior & Exterior)

Administered by Marion Cultural Alliance (MCA)

Marion Cultural Alliance (MCA), in partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation Ocala Facility, invites Florida professional artists or artist teams to submit qualifications and concept proposals for ONE or TWO new public art installations at the new Department of Transportation facility in Ocala, Florida.

This project is part of Florida’s Art in State Buildings Program, which allocates a percentage of construction costs for public art that enhances civic spaces and reflects the identity of the community. Selected artworks will become a permanent part of the facility and serve as a welcoming visual statement celebrating Ocala’s culture, heritage, and innovation.

Art Installation Location: OCALA OPERATIONS CENTER | 627 NW 30TH AVE OCALA FL 34475

Application Deadline: Wednesday, May 13, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST, via ArtCall

Call for Art Proposals | SMA Healthcare Commissioned Horse

Marion Cultural Alliance invites professional artists to submit design proposals for a custom-painted, life-size Horse Fever sculpture (head-up)  commissioned by SMA Healthcare.

This meaningful public art piece will serve as a powerful visual representation of hope, healing, and recovery—honoring the journey of individuals and families served by SMA Healthcare and celebrating the strength found along the way.

The selected design should embody the concept of “Riding Toward Recovery,” illustrating progress, resilience, and the importance of compassionate support systems.

The horse represents a steady, trusted companion—a symbol of strength, guidance, and forward movement on the path to wellness. Artists are encouraged to subtly reflect themes of community, family, heart, and hope throughout the design.

Deadline for submissions: Friday, May 29, 2029 before 4pm, by email to [email protected]
