The county has budgeted $145,500 for the artwork project. Officials said the art should be "visually engaging, lively, positive and playful."

Artists working in a wide range of media are encouraged to apply. The deadline to submit an application is Jan. 13 at 11:59 p.m. 

Once the application window closes, several artists will be selected to submit proposals. Finalists will receive a $1,500 stipend for their proposal. A final selection is expected to be made in the spring. 

The art installation would begin in January 2027, according to the county.

Orange County approved a $49 million plan for the new animal shelter in September. 

The building will feature two floors, with dog kennels and play areas on the first floor and feline care and housing on the second. 

Officials said the facility will feature a modern design that fosters a "welcoming environment dedicated to the humane treatment, respect and protection of all animals."

It will be the largest animal shelter in Florida once construction is completed.
