The Call for Artists has now closed.
In the fall of 2023, the City installed five temporary planters along First Street. A sixth will be added should the street tree at the corner of First Street and Avenue C be removed. The planters will be in place until new street trees (identified by the upcoming First Street Master Plan) have been planted.
To beautify these installations, the City is engaging with local artists to paint exterior artwork on the planters. The theme of this project is "bringing the Snohomish community together."
Artists were selected in March and will begin painting in April and May. Check back for more information on this project!
Artist bios coming soon.
