Current Opportunities
Fire Station #4 Public Art Call
The City of Ann Arbor Fire Department invites artists, designers, or artist teams to submit qualifications to create a unique, site-specific public artwork at the new Fire Station #4, located at 2415 S. Huron Parkway, Ann Arbor, MI. The new station is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by Fall 2026. The selected artist will create a visually impactful work that is fire station and/or service related in theme. The Fire Department welcomes a range of approaches. Explore the full call here.
The site offers two potential artwork locations:
- Site A: A lawn area in front of the building, between the front wall and Huron Parkway.
- Site B: The upper window bays on one, two, or all three sides of the fire engine glass garage.
Artists may propose work for either or both sites; however, only one artist or artist team will be selected for the commission.
