Call for Artists: Military Mural at Wichita Falls Regional Airport ($4,250)
The Wichita Falls Alliance for Arts and Culture, in partnership with the City of Wichita Falls, is seeking an artist or artist team to design and create a new mural honoring 60 years of German Air Force training at Sheppard Air Force Base.

Since 1966, the German Air Force has sent pilot students to Sheppard Air Force Base for training. In 1981, this partnership became part of the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program, known as ENJJPT. The program has helped build decades of military partnership, international cooperation, and personal connection. It has also made Wichita Falls home to generations of German Air Force personnel and their families.

The mural will be located inside Wichita Falls Regional Airport. The airport is directly connected to Sheppard Air Force Base and serves as a major entry point into Wichita Falls for residents, visitors, military families, and international partners.
The selected artist or artist team will create a site-specific mural on existing airport paneling. The finished work should honor this history while reflecting the friendship between Wichita Falls, Sheppard Air Force Base, and Germany.
Artists interested in applying should carefully review the full Request for Qualifications before submitting an application. The RFQ includes project background, site information, eligibility requirements, evaluation criteria, budget details, timeline, and required application materials.

Artist Commission: $4,250

The City of Garland is seeking a qualified professional artist to design and implement a surface artwork installation for the Culture Ring at Lou Huff Park, a signature feature within the $4.4 million renovation of the park.

Named in honor of Lula “Lou” Huff, a prominent and respected Garland resident, Lou Huff Park has long served as a place of gathering, growth, and community connection. The Culture Ring will serve as a permanent artistic landmark within the revitalized park, celebrating legacy, bridging generations, and reflecting the culture and shared history of the surrounding neighborhood.

The Culture Ring consists of three freestanding reinforced concrete monument walls configured in 3, 5, and 6 angled segments, offering approximately 2,930 square feet of exposed surface area. The selected artist will design and apply artwork directly to the finished concrete surface. The artwork is envisioned as a thoughtful integration of text and imagery that reflects themes of community, empowerment, heritage, and future vision.

The total commission for this project is $50,000. This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and not a design competition. Artists are not required to submit fully developed design proposals at this stage. The City of Garland seeks to evaluate professional qualifications, experience, and approach prior to advancing to concept development.

The Nacogdoches Arts Collaborative’s Falling Star Gallery is proud to announce an art competition and exhibition in honor of the 250th Birthday of the USA.

The idea came from the big brain of Terry (TL) Steed, who could quote the Constitution and tell you all about each amendment, including when it was ratified. When asked by his sister how to “do more than vote”, he said, “Well, you DO have an art gallery and America’s birthday is September 2026.”

An idea was born. Then in October 2025, TL passed after a brief illness. So the contest has become the TL Steed Memorial Constitution Competition & Exhibition: What the Constitution Means to Me. Before he exited, he donated the seed money for the prizes and suggested one of the jurors. First and foremost, TL would want you to read the Constitution and pick what moves you.

https://www.senate.gov/about/origins-foundations/senate-and-constitution/constitution.htm

DETAILS & RULES

Artists 16 and over are invited to enter original work in Falling Star Gallery’s “What the Constitution Means to Me” show, to be held August 22nd - September 19th, 2026. Entrants will choose a passage from the US Constitution (including the Bill of Rights and all amendments) and create a piece of art inspired by the passage.

Do NOT use current politicians blatantly. Clever artists can lay their thoughts between the lines. Any piece using images of politicians other than the founding fathers will find their pieces disqualified. No matter your politics, this contest is about the Constitution, which I think we all agree is dandy.

RULES

The gallery hopes to hang all entries that follow the rules.

1. There is a $20 fee to enter. Artists may enter a maximum of two pieces, but each must be entered separately.
2. Artists must register on our website www.nacartscollab.com/constitution, and pay their tax deductible fee using our Give Butter platform.

   Please register as early as possible so we have an idea what’s coming.
3. Finished entries must be delivered by August 22nd, 2026. Attach the Art ID form, which includes name & title and the passage from the Constitution that inspired your art. Mailed entries will also be accepted, but must be received by August 1st. Mailed entries must be registered prior to mailing.

Any film, music or noisy piece will need headphones provided. The gallery owns a limited number of pedestals and easels.
5. Any AI will be disqualified.
6. Artwork must be ready to hang or display, wires, etc. Include any special instructions in writing.
7. Though we do not have specific size restrictions, please remember that the space is limited and anything that is huge better be spectacular to be included. It is our hope to include as many entries as possible in the exhibition.
8. This contest will be juried by members of the gallery’s exhibition committee and two attorneys involved in the arts. Entries will be judged based on creativity/uniqueness, interpretation of the theme, overall visual appeal.
