Program context & project planning

How the program works

An existing-work pool supports several transaction types

Madison’s continuous call accepts up to ten existing artworks per artist each year for consideration in city projects. Selected works may be bought, borrowed or licensed. Registration does not guarantee selection, and the published opportunity page distinguishes this pool from project-specific calls.
