The Public Artist Roster is a pre-qualified list of professional visual artists. These artists are eligible to create site-responsive works of art for K-12 public schools, colleges, universities, and state agencies. Art in Public Places (AIPP) project managers facilitate this process.

Periodically, AIPP will hold a call to select artists for the Roster. A panel of arts professionals reviews applications and makes recommendations to the ArtsWA board.

Artists on our current Roster were approved by the ArtsWA Board in August 2021 and their term expires in August 2025. We will begin the application process for our new Roster in the spring of 2025. Please view the links below for more information.
