The City of Fort Collins’ Art in Public Places (APP) Program is celebrating 20 years since completing its first Transformer Cabinet Murals in Tenney Court. To celebrate this anniversary, APP would like to introduce new artists to the opportunity of painting murals on cabinets in Fort Collins. For 2026, the APP Program is looking for new/emerging artists that haven’t previously completed a Transformer Cabinet Mural in Fort Collins.
The APP Program is requesting artist qualifications in an open competition for artists/teams who reside in the Growth Management Area to create painted murals on transformer cabinets within the city of Fort Collins.

Artists new to the program are encouraged to apply at FortCollins.gov/PublicArt.
