The U.S. General Services Administration is seeking qualified American artists—citizens or Lawful Permanent Residents—to create a permanently installed public artwork for the new Coburn Gore Land Port of Entry in Maine, as part of its Art in Architecture Program. This commission, funded at an estimated $275,000 to $400,000, represents 0.5% of the facility’s construction cost and will support a critical infrastructure project aimed at enhancing border security, improving operational efficiency for Customs and Border Protection, and strengthening cross-border trade coordination with Saint-Augustin-de-Woburn, Quebec.

Eligible artists may also join the National Artist Registry to be considered for future commissions. Selection will prioritize the artist’s demonstrated experience, past performance on similar public art projects, and the relevance of their creative approach—including media, materials, content, and style—to the project’s context and goals, with price playing a minimal role in evaluation. The selected artist will be expected to collaborate closely with the lead architect, conduct site visits, develop and refine conceptual designs, oversee fabrication, ensure proper installation, provide detailed maintenance plans, and participate in conservation reviews. In alignment with Executive Order 13934, preference will be given to artworks that reflect historically significant Americans, pivotal national events, or foundational American ideals.
