Call for Art for Trash Enclosure Wrap at the SteamPlant

Call for Art!

The Salida Public Art Commission is seeking unique and distinctive art to beautify the many trash and utility boxes placed within the city through the selection of original designs from area artists.  The selected designs will be printed on vinyl and will cover the boxes. A third-party design fabricator will be used to print the vinyl wraps.  

Artists are encouraged to steer away from common iconography that is already heavily used within the City of Salida and explore original avenues. The use of bright and vibrant colors is highly encouraged, and the design should add to the vibrancy of our cityscape and create a sense of community and connection.      

Submitted designs must be original works of the artist and in compliance with all existing copyright laws. Due to the public nature, artwork may not contain advertising, religious art, sexual, violent or other content unsuitable for all ages and cannot convey political partisanship. 

Each artist or team may submit up to three works.  

$500.00 will be awarded to each artist/group selected.
