Yakima Launches ‘Keep Yakima Beautiful’ Art Project for Local Artists

The City of Yakima is inviting local artists to contribute to a unique community initiative aimed at enhancing the aesthetic of the city’s public spaces.

THE THEME IS 'KEEP YAKIMA BEAUTIFUL'

The Yakima Arts Commission has announced a call for submissions for its new garbage receptacle art project, themed “Keep Yakima Beautiful.”
Artists from Central Washington are encouraged to submit digital images of their artwork, focusing on themes that celebrate the environment and the natural beauty of the Yakima Valley.

WHAT KIND OF ART DO YOU PRODUCE?

Potential submissions can include landscapes, flora, fauna, and other representations of the area’s unique charm. Accepted mediums include paintings, drawings, digital art, and more.

YOUR DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 28

The deadline for artwork submissions is set for Friday, February 28th. Selected artists will each receive a stipend of $250, similar to the commission’s previous Windows Alive! project, which successfully showcased local talent.
For any questions or to submit artwork, interested participants can reach out to the Yakima Arts Commission at artscommission@yakimawa.gov. This project offers a chance for local artists to make a meaningful impact on their community while beautifying public spaces throughout Yakima.
