When the City of Mountain View has a percent for public art project, the City issues a call for artists. This is an opportunity for artists to respond to the City's request for procuring or showcasing art in Mountain View.  The City of Mountain View uses a platform called Call for Entry (CaFE) which is where the City officially post's our call for artists.
