National Call to Artists: Deadline February 27, 2026
Florida State University (FSU) invites professional 2D and 3D artists from across the United States to submit permanent public art proposals for the Legacy Hall Art in State Buildings Project. Legacy Hall has recently been renamed the Herbert Wertheim Center for Business Excellence and is the new home of the Florida State University’s Herbert Wertheim College of Business. It officially opened its doors on January 6, 2026. The largest academic facility on campus, the Herbert Wertheim Center for Business Excellence stands as a testament to FSU’s commitment to advancing business education, research and innovation. The building has been intentionally designed to provide state-of-the-art classrooms, collaborative learning environments and dedicated spaces for faculty, students and industry partners to engage. With its modern architecture and advanced resources, the Herbert Wertheim Center for Business Excellence serves as a hub for academic excellence and a catalyst for cultivating the next generation of business leaders.
This opportunity has a $100,000 total project budget, with selected artists receiving commissions for work designed to enhance high-traffic interior spaces within this flagship academic building. Artwork submissions must be appropriate for this public space and commensurate with its intended use as outlined in the Call to Artists.
