North Olympic Land Trust Community Artist Call

Picture

In partnership with the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, and thanks to the support the Land Trust Alliance, North Olympic Land Trust is seeking a local* artist to create the signage for the exterior, main entrance of the Land Trust’s office located at 602 E. Front St., Port Angeles. This sign will act as the organization's primary signage, and thus needs to be functional and visible.
​
This call is part of the organization’s “Love Where You Live” campaign, which is an ongoing, place-based campaign centered on celebrating and promoting responsible land use and stewardship of the North Olympic Peninsula. The signage should reflect a love for the North Olympic Peninsula.

* local = Clallam or Jefferson county and/or has a deep connection with the North Olympic Peninsula. Artist does not need to live in the North Olympic Peninsula year-round.
