The Oklahoma Arts Council, in partnership with the Oklahoma Historical Society, is seeking an artist or collaborative artist team to create a bronze sculpture based on the theme of the historic Battle of Honey Springs. The location for the public art will be in a highly visible and publicly accessible area at the new Honey Springs Visitor Center near Checotah, Oklahoma.

The Honey Springs Visitor Center features artifacts and exhibits that tell the compelling history of the Battle of Honey Springs, considered one of the most decisive Civil War engagements that took place in Indian Territory. The battle broke Confederate power in the territory and demonstrated the courageous efforts of Black troops in combat. The artwork proposed for this project should honor the soldiers identified in the battle, recognizing their heroic achievements as part of the greater war effort. The historical reference necessitates a figurative bronze sculpture with a footing to be placed on the exterior site location near the visitor center.

The artist or artist team will receive $150,000 to create the artwork.

Deadline for submissions is December 15, 2025.
