In an effort to enrich Renton's arts and culture scene, the City of Renton is inviting applications for two openings on the Renton Municipal Arts Commission (RMAC). This commission plays a vital role in advising the mayor and city council on various arts initiatives, overseeing city-funded art displays, and promoting arts education. Monthly meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month, allowing members to engage in meaningful discussions that shape the community's artistic future. Interested individuals must submit their applications by January 25, 2025, with interviews and selections expected to take place in February 2025.
