Coburn Gore LPOE Art in Architecture Project

The General Services Administration (GSA) Art in Architecture Program is seeking one or more U.S. artists to create a permanent, publicly‑scaled artwork for the new Coburn Gore Land Port of Entry (LPOE) in Coburn, Maine. The commission is funded at 0.5 % of the construction cost, with an estimated art budget of $275,000‑$400,000. Artists must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, have an active SAM registration, and submit their application materials by 12:00 PM ET on 22 Oct 2026. Selected artists will work with the lead designer, travel to the site, develop concepts, fabricate, install, and provide documentation and maintenance plans. The award will be a fixed‑price contract; price is secondary to artistic merit and relevance to historic American themes. • Agency: GSA (Art in Architecture Program) • Location: Coburn Gore, Maine (state border LPOE) • Budget: $275‑$400 K (fixed‑price) • Submission deadline: 22 Oct 2026, 12:00 PM ET • Eligibility: U.S. citizens/permanent residents, SAM‑registered, portfolio required • Scope: Concept development, fabrication, site installation, documentation, maintenance planning • Award type: Fixed‑price art commission (one‑time) • Contact: Molly Lewis ([email protected])
