The City of Eden Prairie is looking for innovative artists to display existing work, create new work or propose a purposeful art happening for the Rotating Art Series. Artists retain ownership of their work unless the nature of the work prevents it or they choose to donate it to the City. Pieces are typically shown for one year, from June 2025–June 2026. Physical artwork must be appropriate for Minnesota’s extreme weather if exhibited outdoors; there are a few indoor locations that may be used for installations or art happenings. Stipends available ranging from $750–$2,000. Potential locations include the Art Center, Purgatory Creek Park, Senior Center and other Eden Prairie park locations. We recommend visiting potential sites to get a feel for the landscape and design. Site tours available upon request. The jury committee reviews proposals and selects winners based on quality of work samples, benefit to the community or exhibit location, strength of proposal and durability as a
public art work.
For the 2025–2026 Rotating Art Series, preference will be given to 3D/sculptural works because of the locations available, but we accept proposals for sculpture, murals, installations, projection and other media as appropriate for public outdoor display or art happenings. This is not a traditional exhibition opportunity and we are not looking for a series of paintings, photographs, etc., and any exhibited
work is unattended and accessible to the public at all times. We encourage artists of all backgrounds to apply as the Rotating Art Series aims to reflect the diversity of our community.
