Alaska Pacific University Commissioned Artwork for Grant Hall and Shel'ch'naq'ahnilu Center

Alaska Pacific University (APU), an Alaska Native university, is inviting Alaska Native and American Indian artists to submit proposals for a commissioned artwork project that will enhance Grant Hall and the newly created Shel'ch'naq'ahnilu Center on its Anchorage campus. The commission aims to celebrate place, belonging, and community while honoring APU’s identity. Applicants must be members of Alaska Native or American Indian communities. Submissions are accepted through the Alaska State Council on the Arts professional opportunities page. The project is a paid commission, though the exact remuneration is not disclosed. The deadline for proposals is August 14, 2026. No application fee is required. The call is a one‑time opportunity, not part of a recurring series. Selected artists will have their work installed in a high‑visibility campus space, providing significant exposure within the university and broader community.
