DCA is looking for professional LA-based artists to comprise its 2026 Prequalified Roster of Sculptors. Artists selected for inclusion on this roster will be eligible to participate in Requests for Proposals (RFPs) issued by DCA to commission original, site-specific contemporary sculpture projects for a variety of new public art opportunities throughout Los Angeles.

Each sculpture commission opportunity will vary by site, budget, and programmatic context. There will be opportunities for both temporary and permanent sculpture projects.
