SAACA, in partnership with Pima County, invites artists and artist teams to apply for a $91,692 public art opportunity at the renovated Richard Elias-Mission Library, a vital cultural hub in Southwest Tucson.
Artists are invited to propose durable, sculptural works for the library’s outdoor reading patios that reflect the community’s cultural heritage, family stories, and shared values. Artwork should thoughtfully honor the lived experiences of Tohono O’odham, Pascua Yaqui, Mexican, and Mexican American communities, while celebrating the library’s role as a civic landmark and gateway to the city.
