CALL TO ARTISTS FOR NEW MURAL
The Platte Valley Arts Council is announcing a call to artists to submit proposals by January 30, 2026. The mural will depict the history of the mineral hot springs in Saratoga and will be installed near the Hobo Pool. The chosen artist will have about five months to complete the mural which will be installed by July 4.
PVAC will commission an artist to use different types of metal such as copper, zinc, brass, and steel. Materials will be layered, overlapped or connected to create a relief sculpture with apparent depth and allowed to patina, which will require minimal maintenance.
The finished art piece will be a visual interpretation of the area’s rich history and beauty. The installation will be part of the Wyoming 250 celebration. The United States of America will be 250 years old in July, and the entire nation is planning projects and celebrations to commemorate.
Full details of the call can be found on the PVAC website: https://www.plattevalleyarts.com/projects-and-fundraisers/call-for-artist-proposals
