The Yakima Arts Commission is inviting submissions for its new project, which focuses on creating artistic designs for garbage receptacles under the theme "Keep Yakima Beautiful. " This initiative aims to engage local artists from Central Washington, encouraging them to contribute their talents to enhance the city's visual landscape. By promoting environmental awareness and community pride, the project seeks to transform utilitarian objects into vibrant pieces of public art. The initiative reflects the city's commitment to beautifying urban spaces and fostering a strong sense of community identity. Artists are encouraged to think creatively about how their artwork can inspire residents and visitors alike to appreciate and care for their environment.

The application process is straightforward, with details available on the City of Yakima's website. This project not only serves as a platform for local talent but also aligns with broader trends in public art that enhance community engagement. Interested artists should act quickly to ensure their submissions are considered for this exciting opportunity.
