  • Who Can Apply: Artists of all disciplines and career levels living and working in southwestern Pennsylvania, applying as individuals, teams or businesses.
  • The Focus: A pre-qualified roster and public artist directory used by Shiftworks and other commissioners to select artists for temporary and permanent public art and artist-led programming in the Pittsburgh region.
  • Compensation: No payment for joining. Inclusion in the Corps does not guarantee a commission; Corps artists may be invited to interview or to submit a paid conceptual proposal for budgeted projects.
  • Key Requirements: Submittable application: artist information, a three-question Artist Questionnaire (100 words suggested max each, or a video/audio recording of no more than four minutes), up to five project/artwork samples (up to three jpg images or one video per sample; video and audio samples no longer than 3 minutes each) with 50-word-max descriptions, and three references.

Application notesApply through the Shiftworks Submittable form for the Spring 2027 review; someone else may instead nominate you through a separate nomination form. Applicants certify that they live and work in southwestern Pennsylvania; the call's two county lists differ slightly (both include Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Somerset, Washington and Westmoreland; one adds Cambria, the other Mercer and Venango), so check with Shiftworks if you are in one of those. Select no more than three areas of expertise and three primary media. Office hours for application help run Mondays (virtual) and Thursdays (in person). Spring applicants are notified in spring 2027.
