We can't wait to see a beautiful mural in our new building!!
Calling all artists...apply today! :D

🎨 Artists — this one’s for you.

We’re still looking for the right artist to bring a 90’ x 12’ mural to life inside the New Walnut Street Garage in downtown Bethlehem.

Right off Historic Main Street, this isn’t just another wall — it’s a chance to create something thousands of people will see every day.

🖌 The Opportunity:
• Huge canvas: 90 ft wide × 12 ft high
• Prime location in Bethlehem’s historic downtown
• $10,000 stipend for the selected artist(s)
• A chance to leave a lasting mark on the community

We’re looking for bold, creative ideas — abstract, multimodal, or something totally unique.

If you’ve ever wanted your work to live in the heart of a city… this is it.

📅 Deadline: April 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM
