SELECTION PROCESS AND CRITERIA
A Submission Review Committee of artists and arts professionals will score applications based on the selection criteria listed below. All New Mexico Arts public art projects are fair and open competitions; therefore not all applicants who apply will be included in the final pool of artwork shown to statewide Regional Buying Committees. Regional Buying Committees are made up of representatives from the owner and/or user agencies of eleigble sites.

Artwork submitted for consideration does not need to be removed from other sale opportunities, however, if a submitted piece is sold through another venue, the artist or gallery is required to notify New Mexico Arts immediately so the work can be removed from the final pool.
Artwork installed at the site must be the same piece and price selected for purchase by the Regional Buying Committee. Substitutions and/or price fluctuations will not be allowed after the submission deadline.
