Percent for Art Call for Artists - Constitution Health Plaza

Philadelphia's Creative Philadelphia office, formerly known as the Office of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy, is actively seeking artists for their Percent for Art program. This initiative includes opportunities for public art installations, with current projects such as the Constitution Health Plaza: Public Health Lab seeking submissions. The office, led by Director Valerie Gay, aims to increase public access to arts and culture while partnering with local creative communities. The program is part of Philadelphia's broader effort to highlight the city's vast cultural assets and create opportunities for all Philadelphians to thrive through the arts. The initiative supports the belief that arts don't just enrich communities but help create safer, cleaner, and greener cities where creatives can thrive both socially and economically. With Philadelphia preparing for an influx of tourists in 2026, there's increased focus on recognizing and showcasing the city's amazing cultural holdings. The office oversees various programs including outdoor art supported by mandatory developer percentage for arts, supporting both well-known assets and local neighborhood projects. A comprehensive master plan defining assets and outlining future infrastructure for the office and creative communities is set to be released in May.
