Description
This opportunity, administered by 4Culture, invites one Washington-based artist to develop a suite of six to eight two-dimensional digital artworks for the new Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) shelter in Kent, WA. The selected artist will create mural panels and window film designs that celebrate the human-animal bond and support RASKC’s mission of compassionate animal care. The commission is design-only: the artist will deliver digital files for fabrication, with 4Culture managing production and installation. The project encourages applications from emerging artists or those new to public art, with an emphasis on thoughtful, community-reflective design.
