CASPER, Wyo. — The Wyoming Arts Council announces that a new public art call for entry is now open. The Wyoming State Forestry Division is constructing a new helibase located on the Casper Airport grounds. Through the State of Wyoming’s Art in Public Buildings program, artwork will be commissioned for the interior and exterior of the facility.

The approved design of the Wyoming State Forestry Helibase will house a centrally located office space, meeting rooms, an in-house dormitory for response staff, and a detached helicopter hangar. The committee is interested in work for the building interior in the public hall of the facility, as well as an exterior piece. The building is scheduled to open in late fall of 2026.

A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is open to artists with a deadline of May 9, 2025. This is a regional RFQ open to artists residing in the following states: Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming. Wyoming artists will be given preference.

The call and additional details are available on CaFE (callforentry.org) or the Wyoming Arts Council website (wyomingartscouncil.org). Submissions to the RFQ must be made through CaFE by the deadline listed. There is a committee for the project, tasked with reviewing applications, selecting finalists, and making the final artwork selection. Wyoming artists are encouraged to apply. 

The Art in Public Buildings program was established by the Wyoming State Legislature in 1991. The Wyoming Arts Council administers the program but does not vote on the selection of artists or artwork.
