The City of Yakima Arts Commission is seeking digital images from Central Washington artists for a new public art initiative focused on enhancing garbage receptacles. Titled "Keep Yakima Beautiful," this project aims to combine artistry with environmental awareness, encouraging local artists to creatively address waste management issues. The call for submissions provides an excellent platform for artists to showcase their talents while contributing to the beautification of public spaces in Yakima. This initiative reflects the city’s dedication to community engagement and sustainability, as it seeks to inspire residents to take pride in their environment. Artists are encouraged to explore themes related to environmental stewardship and artistic interpretation for their submissions.

The project not only beautifies the community but also serves as a conversation starter about the importance of keeping Yakima clean and vibrant. By participating, artists can play a vital role in promoting a culture of sustainability and creativity. This collaborative effort is expected to foster a greater appreciation for public art and its impact on the community.
