Artist Opportunities

Seeking Sculpture!


The Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation Department seeks to commission a professional artist to design and complete a Sculpture to be installed at the J. Thomas Lovell Jr. Community Center at Legacy Park.


The artwork should be inviting and creative; it should be complementary to the space; embody health and fitness, and reference the center's community, active, and engaging environment.


The submission deadline is the end of day on May 10, 2026.

Public Artist Roster


Arts and Culture maintains a public artist roster to select artists for new projects. Inclusion in the roster does not guarantee a commission of work. This tool is accessible to all. Business owners and developers are encouraged to utilize it as a resource when commissioning or incorporating public art into their spaces. Artists selected for this roster can create works of art for the public sphere, including sculpture, murals, site-specific art and performances. All experience levels are welcome.
