Moved by Metal Call for Artists


  • Art District on Santa Fe 858 Santa Fe Drive Denver, CO, 80204 United States (map)

Denver's Art District on Santa Fe is calling for submissions from Denver metalwork and/or sculpture artists for our upcoming public art project, Moved by Metal.

Funded by Denver Arts and Venues' P.S. You Are Here (PSYAH) grant program, Moved by Metal is a project that will invite two metal workers/sculptors to create up to four bike racks for the district in order to:

  • Encourage more multimodal transportation in the district

  • Strengthen connections with the light rail

  • Enliven the side streets of the district

  • Reduce traffic and parking concerns

  • Highlight a medium that we have not celebrated in our public space yet

  • Improve automobile/pedestrian safety along the corridor

We are excited to work with local artists to create these bike racks that celebrate the character of the district in a way that is also a benefit to the residents, visitors, and business owners in the district. Apply HERE.

Applications close March 31st. Artist must be available to install in the May/June timeframe. Artists will be compensated based on installation size.
