Hydrant Art Program
The Renton Municipal Arts Commission has teamed up with the South Renton Connection to support the popular Renton Hydrant Art Program.
The program invites artists to "adopt" fire hydrants in the South Renton neighborhood and create artistic designs for them, showcasing the talents of local individuals while displaying creative artwork throughout the community.
There is no specific theme for the program, but artists are encouraged to incorporate the character and history of the surrounding environment and neighborhood into their artwork
Selected artists will receive $400 per hydrant to cover the cost of materials, supplies, and design fees. Applicants are welcome to submit multiple designs for consideration. To apply, submit your proposal today, and check out the full application here for more information.
