Art in Public Spaces Call for Art: CT State Gateway

About this call

The Connecticut Office of the Arts and CT State Community College Gateway are buying artwork by Connecticut artists for the Gateway campus in downtown New Haven, Connecticut. The college is enhancing its art collection and will consider a few new two-dimensional interior wall mounted works that resonate with the student population and add to the academic experience. Submissions will be reviewed in January 2027, with notifications anticipated for early February 2027.
