The City of Reno Arts & Culture Commission (RACC) invites you to submit your qualifications for a $25,000 public art commission for downtown Reno, Nevada.

The RACC is seeking qualifications from artists or artist teams interested in developing and implementing a horizontal mural (on the ground) that covers the ReTRAC Plaza between Virginia Street and Sierra Street in the heart of downtown Reno.

The City of Reno is one of 16 cities to receive a grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies for their Asphalt Art Initiative. The purpose of this $25,000 award is to improve street and pedestrian safety, revitalize and beautify underutilized public space, and promote collaboration and civic engagement in communities.
