The River District is seeking talented artists to apply to design and install our newest public art. We invite you to submit your qualifications for a unique mural project that will bring together art and community in a celebration of creativity and connection.

About the Project

The mural will not only beautify the space but also reflect the diverse stories, histories, and cultures that make up the River District.

What makes this project special is its community-focused approach. We are looking for an artist who is excited about engaging with local residents and volunteers to bring this mural to life. This collaborative process will ensure that the artwork truly resonates with the people who live, work, and play in the River District.
