Submission of gender, race, and ethnicity data is also voluntary; failure to provide it will not affect an individual’s application, as this information will not be used in the selection process, but instead will be used for internal management of the Art in Architecture program to ensure GSA’s outreach efforts provide a sufficiently diverse and representative pool of artists as the Federal Government considers possible commissions.
