Local Artists Invited to Apply for 2-D Display
City of Redmond’s Commission for Art in Public Places (RCAPP) is pleased to announce a call for Oregon artists to submit digital images of original two dimensional paintings for art display at Centennial Park. Selected artworks will be enlarged into five by five foot ACM (Aluminum Composite Material) panels and displayed outdoors for approximately two years. Two artists will be chosen—one for each side of a two sided display structure—offering a prominent large scale showcase of their work in the heart of downtown Redmond.
Interested artists and artists teams will want to review the Request for Proposals (RFP) available online at redmondoregon.gov/CalltoArtists and submit their proposal(s) before 11:59 p.m. PDT April 30, 2026. Have questions, contact RCAPP Liaison Cory Murray and 541-504-3062 or [email protected].
This year’s display honors America 250, the national commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Artwork should reflect themes connected to the American experience—its diverse histories, landscapes, cultures, shared values, or community spirit. Artists are invited to interpret the theme broadly and creatively, expressing what “American” means through their own artistic perspective.
The 2 D display is located at Centennial Park, located on the north side of Evergreen Avenue between 7th and 9th Streets, directly across from Redmond City Hall.
