Request for Qualifications for the Renton Utility
Box Wrap Program
The City of Renton is seeking one or more artists to create designs for wrapping utility boxes with
art. The City of Renton plans to commission the artwork from one or more artists working in the
community. The opportunity is open to visual artists working in any medium, provided the design
can be digitally reproduced as a vinyl wrap.
This request is open to any and all artists in the greater Seattle area, but artists living or working in
Renton are especially encouraged to submit their qualifications. The City intends to select and
commission artists to create the utility box art for the program. The selected artist(s) will need to
submit a design for each utility box commissioned. The City will then provide the design(s) to a
contractor for fabrication and installation. The City anticipates compensating the artist(s)
approximately $500 for each design.
Complete submissions must be received by Friday, March 16 at 12:00 noon to be considered for
this program. Submissions should be clearly marked with the name and address of the respondent
and the program title.
To submit designs for consideration, please include in your application:
• a cover sheet with your name, mailing address, home and/or cell phone number, email
address and website (if applicable)
• A resume that includes exhibition history, past projects, and/or a brief description of
cooperative, community-based projects (do not exceed two pages)�
