Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has announced a request for proposals (RFP) for its Art Exhibition Program, inviting artists and curators to submit ideas for temporary exhibitions. This initiative aims to enhance the travel experience through meaningful public art that reflects the identity of Los Angeles.
According to the official RFP document, the LAX Art Exhibition Program is commissioning temporary exhibitions and installations across airport facilities as part of its ongoing arts initiatives. Artists, curators, and artist teams are encouraged to develop proposals that reflect the city’s narrative and sense of place.
The RFP outlines project-specific curatorial budgets ranging from $9,000 to $14,000. These funds cover artist fees, research, installation, de-installation, and exhibition labeling. The financial structure ensures full funding for both creative development and logistical execution. Additionally, up to twenty artists, curators, or teams may be selected to form the 2025 Arts Exhibition Program Pre-Qualified Roster, providing successful applicants with priority access to commission opportunities.
