Calling all local artists- especially youth! ⭐️

🎨 CALLING ALL ARTISTS!

The City of Rutland received a grant from The Vermont Arts Council to bring vibrant public art to Downtown Rutland, Vermont — and your work could be part of it!

They’re seeking proposals for mural designs on the first-floor pillars of Marble Valley Regional Transit District - The Bus' Transit Center at 102 West Street. This project aims to transform a utilitarian space into a welcoming community landmark that celebrates the region and the destinations accessible by bus.

If you’re passionate about public art and placemaking, submit your proposal by July 10, 2026. All questions about the RFP should be directed to Sean Adkins, Executive Director of the Rutland Redevelopment Authority, at [email protected].

Learn more about the project and how to apply here:

Ready to make a difference?

Pick up your needle and thread. Help a young person piece together their unique path. Mentorship is a creative project, and we are all working on the same piece. You don’t need to be an expert crafter; you just need to want to help.

The Mentor Connector is looking for hands-on volunteers. We provide the support; you help craft the future.
