Highgate Springs Land Port of Entry Art in Architecture

The U.S. General Services Administration Public Buildings Service is commissioning American artists to create publicly scaled and permanently installed artworks for the modernized Land Port of Entry in Highgate Springs, Vermont. The selected artist or artists will be responsible for collaborating with the project's lead designer, traveling to the site, developing preliminary and final concepts, fabricating and installing the artwork, and providing professional documentation and maintenance planning. Evaluation is based on the media, materials, style of the artist's past work, past performance on similar projects, and a prioritized alignment with historically significant American figures, events, or ideals, with non-price selection criteria considered significantly more important than price. The estimated art budget for this project is between $400,000 and $500,000, and interested artists must submit their application materials to the National Artist Registry by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on September 10, 2026.
