Artists and collaborative artist teams can submit qualifications for the design and oversight of installation of a terrazzo floor artwork for an Oklahoma Art in Public Places project at the Allen Wright Memorial Library near the Oklahoma State Capitol in Oklahoma City.

The Allen Wright Memorial Library is the home of the Oklahoma Department of Libraries, the state's central agency for library and archival services. The agency's mission is to expand access to information, sustain the infrastructure of Oklahoma libraries, and safeguard the state's documentary heritage.

For the building's renovation, the commissioned artwork can honor the library's namesake, Chief Allen Wright—credited as the person who suggested Indian Territory be called "Oklahoma"—while primarily highlighting the role and impact of the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. A terrazzo floor is envisioned to guide visitors toward the newly updated public archival area, serving as both a welcoming entry feature and an artistic pathway. The size of the artwork area is approximately 1,795 square feet and is located at the entryway of the facility.

The artist or artist team will receive $35,000 to design and oversee the terrazzo artwork installation.

Deadline for submissions is January 13, 2026.
