Call to Artists: create art for Kenmore concrete tanks

Call to Artists 

Theme: “Earth, Sky, and Water” 

The Hwy. 522 Beautification Projects, a private all-volunteer initiative, seeks ways to create colorful public art to enhance the look and character of Kenmore – our friendly city at the north end of Lake Washington.

This is not a traditionally painted large-scale mural project. Selected artwork will be enlarged onto a specialized high-tech tarp wrapped across three concrete tanks.

This project is in partnership with the Arts of Kenmore and CalPortland.
