The City of San Rafael’s Parking Services Division is sponsoring a Call for Artists of all ages living in San Rafael, for a Public Art Project at one of its parking lots in Downtown San Rafael. The exhibit space, a 3 ft. x 6 ft. parking sign at the corner of Fifth Avenue & C Street, will be temporarily transformed into rotating, 6-month public art installations while the new Public Safety Center is being built (across the street). This project is a community-based effort to “bring art to unexpected places.”
Artists are encouraged to submit vibrant, colored and spirited designs inspired by the local natural beauty, environment, and culture of San Rafael. Artwork that invokes a sense of community and engages pedestrians/drivers passing by this widely-used parking facility, is desired. Adult and youth artworks are desired! Art works must be original and produced directly by the artist. A one-time $500 stipend will be awarded to each artist chosen. Deadline to submit artwork is on Friday, September 6, 2019, 5:00 pm PST
