It depends on so many factors – how many artists respond to a call, who the selection panel is, what the selection criteria are.
Many public art programs have programs or projects geared towards “emerging artists” or that address equity – with the goal of providing opportunities. I know
several art programs that have set up mentoring programs so those artists with less experience can be mentored by those with more.
These kinds of efforts are important from an equity perspective and I think should be a best practice in all public art programs.

Marjorie,
From my perspective, as the spouse of the artist and the one who submits to calls, it is truly a numbers game. It is also so very subjective depending on the panel who views the images.
An artist may think they are the right fit for an award, but once again there are many great artists and so many subjective viewers. An artist may or may not ever get an award, but we have submitted to 151 calls and we have been awarded
seven commissions, we are on six pre-qualified lists and have several Art in Public Places commissions. We started seriously pursuing public art opportunities in October 2016 and our success rate is .09%.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Nina

Application to Commission statistics by Flanagan, Marjorie (04 Jun 2019 16:21 UTC)
Reply to listHi All,
I would like to give some of our less seasoned artists statistics on how many applications it might take them until they receive a commission.
Does anyone have numbers on this?
THANK YOU!

Reply to listSorry, Marjorie, but we don’t have any statistics like that and I would be surprised if anyone did. The answer to that question is highly dependent on the quality of the artist’s work, and how appropriate it is perceived to be for public art projects. Certainly, as an artist becomes more seasoned professionally in a variety arenas they are more likely to be selected, but that said we have artists who get commissions on their first application and others that, quite frankly, are unlikely to ever be selected.
