The Downtown Tulsa Partnership (DTP) is seeking qualifications from experienced artists or artist teams for a large-scale, semi-permanent (10 years) public art installation in the E 4th Street Alley. The installation must incorporate lighting or illumination as a core component and contribute to the transformation of this underutilized alleyway into a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly space connecting the hotels and offices of the Deco District with the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, Williams Green, and Blue Dome District.

This project is part of a broader initiative to activate Downtown Tulsa alleyways through art and placemaking. Qualified artists will be selected based on their experience, artistic vision, and ability to execute projects of similar scale and complexity. Shortlisted artists will be invited to submit detailed proposals during a subsequent Request for Proposals (RFP) phase in September 2026.

This RFQ is open to professional artists and groups of artists with experience in large-scale public art installations involving lighting. Local and regional artists are encouraged to apply, though all qualified applicants will be considered.

Qualifications are accepted through June 29. Please see link for further details.
