Arts Council accepting submissions for outreach campaigns
The San Benito County Arts Council seeks artists to create poster designs for two countywide outreach campaigns, focusing on vaccine education and water conservation, as part of its “ART in TRANSIT Project.”
The goal of the vaccine poster project is to build trust in the safety and efficacy of the Covid-19 vaccine; to combat vaccine misinformation and to sustain momentum in the county’s efforts to
vaccinate a substantial portion of the population against the virus.
The water awareness and conservation poster project will focus on messages and themes to promote water awareness; build water resilience and encourage personal and collective water
conservation.
Selected artist-designed posters will be displayed in county bus shelters, buses and other public buildings, storefronts and high-visibility areas.
Interested artists may view the full RFP at sanbenitoarts.org for project guidelines and
submission criteria. Deadline for artist submission is 5pm on June 9.
The ART in TRANSIT Project is a collaboration between the San Benito County Arts Council, Community Foundation for San Benito County, County of San Benito, Council of San Benito Governments and the Water Resources Association San Benito County.
For information, contact the Arts Council at [email protected] or call 831.636.2787.
