Another chance to make your mark at Legacy Square!

The energy at Legacy Square continues to grow! The City of Renton invites local artists to bring their vision to life and submit an application for a new public art installation at the Square. This opportunity is focused on the ground plane in front of the stage and the stage’s exterior wall doors.

This is your chance to create a site-responsive artwork that interacts with both the horizontal and vertical surfaces, enhancing the atmosphere of Legacy Square and celebrating the city’s diversity, vibrancy, and community spirit.

  • Support with contracts and implementation

Artist responsibilities:

  • Develop a visually engaging, durable design that fits the site
