2027年 ウェスタン・ライツ・フェスティバル アーティスト募集

The City of Reno, through its Arts & Culture department, is accepting proposals from individual artists or collaborative teams for temporary outdoor public art installations that incorporate illumination, projection, or other light‑based elements. Selected works will be installed throughout downtown Reno during the free, three‑day Western Lights Festival (February 18‑20, 2027). Artists may propose existing works or new creations, including light shows, projection mapping, illuminated sculptures, or performance‑based pieces with lit costumes or props. Each project may receive up to $6,500 to cover artist fees, fabrication, insurance, transportation, equipment, and installation costs. Security for the artwork will be provided, and limited installation assistance may be offered. Eligibility requires residency within 150 miles of Reno (Northern Nevada or Northern California), age 18+, and the ability to transport and install the work. Applications are submitted via Submittable and must include artist information, a detailed proposal, budget, and a letter of interest. The deadline for submissions is Monday, November 30, 2026, at 11:00 pm PST. Selected artists will be notified in mid‑December 2026.
