Tunnel Artist Call
Tunnel at Lake Boone Trail on the House Creek Trail. Final locations will be provided by Raleigh Arts to semi-finalists for their proposals.
Three (3) artist/artist teams will be selected to create durable public art on tunnel entrances or wing walls along the Raleigh Greenway. Artwork may consist of ceramic or mosaic art, fabricated metalwork, or similar installations with long-lasting materials. Each award will have a project budget of $30,000.
Art should be durable and made of materials that will last outdoors with minimal maintenance. Artists should consider how the art will help create welcoming and safe environments along the trail and provide unexpected moments that make daily walks, runs, and bike rides more engaging. Six semi-finalists will be chosen to submit a detailed project proposal for an honorarium of $250.
Deadline to apply: November 20, 2026, by 11:59 p.m.

Sewer Riser Artist Call
Example of a sewer riser along Walnut Creek Trail. Final sewer riser locations will be assigned to selected artists by the Raleigh Arts team.
Two (2) artist/artist teams will be selected to create public art on existing infrastructure along the Raleigh Greenway. Each artist/team will be assigned up to five (5) sewer risers in a designated area to paint. Each award has a budget of $5,000.
Artists should consider how their art might communicate across all assigned risers, offering opportunities to create a narrative or explore a theme across multiple canvases. Paint should be long-lasting and artists should consider using an anti-graffiti and/or UV resistant topcoat to promote durability.
