All New Mexico Arts public arts projects are fair and open competitions pursuant to section 13-4A-8 (1997 Repl.) of the Art in Public Places Act (Section 13-4A-1 through 11, NMSA 1978). Once chosen to create and supply a work of art to the New Mexico Art in Public Places Program, the Artist enters into a contract with the State. The contract is a legal and enforceable document, necessary to ensure responsibilities are understood and timelines are met.
