The City of Tacoma is inviting Washington State artists to submit qualifications for a $111,000 commission to create a permanent public artwork along and adjacent to South Tacoma Way between South 47th Street and S 58th Street. The selected artist or artist team will be encouraged to explore connections, enhance the business district, contribute to a sense of identity in the area, and prioritize community involvement in the research and concept development process.

The project is a collaboration between the City of Tacoma, State Farm Insurance, Local Initiatives Support Corporation, and the South Tacoma Business District.

The application deadline expires on Mon., April 11. More information is available online at cityoftacoma.org/artsopps.
